    60°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

    sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

    Here n = 5 (pentagon), thus

    sum = 180° * 3 = 540°

    let x be the size of the equal angles

    Sum the interior angles and equate to 540

    (3 * 140) + 2x = 540

    420 + 2x = 540 (subtract 240 from both sides)

    2x = 120 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 60

    Thus the size of 1 of the 2 equal angles = 60°
