In general, you cannot. All that you can say for a polygon with n sides is that the angles sum to (n-2)*pi radians - or (n-2)*180 degrees. This is true for cocave polygons as well as convex ones.
For a concave polygon, if you wish to measure a reflex angle using a protractor, measure the outside angle and subtract that from 2*pi radians (360 degrees).

Is it possible to have a regular polygon be concave.. why or why not?
No. It is impossible.The definition of a regular polygon is a polygon with equal angles, and equal sides.For a polygon to be concave, it has to have at least one angle more than 180 degrees, and a a polygon cannot consistently have angles more than 180 degrees.
A concave polygon has at least dent in it?
A concave polygon is a polygon with at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. This causes the polygon to have at least one "dent" or indentation in its shape. The presence of these interior angles greater than 180 degrees distinguishes concave polygons from convex polygons, which have all interior angles less than 180 degrees.
What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex decagon?
The sum of the exterior angles of ANY polygon, convex or concave, is 360 degrees.
Is a star shape an irregular polygon?
Not all are. Not only is it a concave shape, but the interior angles can vary. For a polygon to be regular, it must be equilateral and equiangular.
Find the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a convex 21-gon?
The sum of exterior angles, of any polygon - convex or concave, and whatever the number of sides - is 360 degrees or 2*pi radians.
