Solution

Step 1: Find the value of each exterior angle

The given geometry is a regular polygon with 10 sides.

Thus, the number of sides, n=10.

It is known that the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°.

As the given polygon is regular, so the value of each exterior angle can be given by 360°n=360°10=36°.

Step 2: Find the value of each interior angle

It is known that the sum of an interior angle and the corresponding exterior angle is 180°.

Thus, the value of each interior angle of the given regular polygon can be given by, 180°-36°=144°.

Hence, the measure of each angle of a regular polygon with 10 sides is 144°.
