Consider the regular pentagon ABCDE, with center (of mass)  O.

The central angle O is a complete angle, so its measure is 360°.

It is divided into 5 equal parts, so each of them has a measure of 360°/5=72°.

If we rotate the pentagon, with point O as the center of the rotation, we can map A to any of the other points.

The smallest angle of rotation is the angle which mas A to E, 72°.

Answer: 72°
