What is the measure of one of the interior angles of a regular polygon with ten sides? a. 18 degrees b. 36 degrees. c. 144 degrees d. 162 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula (n-2)/180, where n = number of sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, instead of division of 180, it is multiplication of 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is (10-2)*180 = 1440

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, we have to find only one angle, not the sum of all angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since we know that this is a decagon, it has 10 angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@moogoo what do you think you should do here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sum of all angles 1440/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats exactly right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!!
