Question

Find the measures of each exterior angle of a regular Decagon

Open in App
Solution

In a regular decagon, all sides are same size and measure of all interior angles are same.
The sum of interior angles of decagon is
(n2)×180o where n is number of sides of polygon.
(102)×180o=1440o here n=10 because deca means 10
Each interior angle =1440/10=144o
As we know that the sum of interior and exterior angles is 180o
Exterior angle + interior angle =180o
Exterior angle +144o=180o
Exterior angle =180o144o=36o
