we know that

The exterior angle measures of a polygon must add up to 360°, 

therefore

 360°/72°=5 exterior angles

so

5 exterior angles, would mean 5 interior angles and therefore  5 sides to the polygon

The exterior angle and the interior angle of any polygon are supplementary and must add up to 180°.

exterior angle+interior angle=180°

interior angle=180°-exterior angle

interior angle=180°−72°-------> 108°
Each interior angle is 108°

The sum of the interior angles would be 

5*108°=540°

the answer is

540°
