Question

17 multiple choice 1 point which statement is a valid conclusion based on the argument. if a polygon is a regular pentagon, then the polygon has exactly five congruent angles. situation: the polygon is a regular pentagon. therefore, the polygon has exactly five congruent angles. therefore, the polygon is a rectangle. therefore, the polygon is a regular quadrilateral. therefore the polygon has congruent sides.

Explanation:

The given argument states that if a polygon is a regular pentagon, it has exactly five congruent angles. The situation is that the polygon is a regular pentagon. By the law of detachment in logic (if we have a conditional statement "if p then q" and p is true, then q is true), since the polygon is a regular pentagon (p is true), the conclusion that the polygon has exactly five congruent angles (q) follows.

Answer:

Therefore, the polygon has exactly five congruent angles.
