Q3 of 59 Page 203

Let's write the measurement of each interior and exterior angle of a regular polygon with 10 sides.


For Interior Angles


We know that, if a polygon has ‘n’ sides, then it divides in (n – 2) triangles.


We also know that, by angle sum property that


Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°


, the sum of angles of (n – 2) triangle = (n – 2) × 180°



It is given that regular polygon has 10 sides


So,




= 8 × 18


= 144°


For Exterior Angles


It is given that regular polygon has 10 sides


Since, 10 sides of a polygon has 10 angles


and we know that, the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360°


10 exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°



= 36°
