In the following figure, the center section of the star is a pentagon.
The sum of the interior angles of any polygon is 180(n−2), where n is the number of sides. Thus, a+b+c+d+e=180(5−2)=180(3)=540.
Each of the interior angles of the pentagon defines a triangle with two of the angles at the points of the star. This gives the following five equations:
a+x+z=180
b+v+y=180
c+x+w=180
d+v+z=180
e+y+w=180
Summing these 5 equations gives:
a+b+c+d+e+2v+2x+2y+2z+2w=900.
Substituting 540 for a+b+c+d+e gives: 540+2v+2x+2y+2z+2w=900.
From this:
2v+2x+2y+2z+2w=360 subtract 540 from both sides
2(v+x+y+z+w)=360 factor out 2 on the left side
v+x+y+z+w=180 divide both sides by 2
The correct answer is C.
