The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)180, where n represents the number of sides. |
The sum of the interior angles of a decagon is 1440^(∘). Now, recall that a regular polygon is a polygon in which all the angles have the same measure. Therefore, a regular decagon has 10 angles with the same measure. To find the measure of one angle, we will divide the sum of the angles by 10. Sum of Angles:& 1440^(∘) [0.5em] One Angle:& 1440/10=144^(∘)
