If you're designing a system for hoisting a load using a pulley and a motorized winding drum, you must space the drum and the pulley sheave apart far enough to maintain a safe "fleet angle." The fleet angle of a sheave-and-drum pulley system refers to the maximum angle from the front of a fixed sheave to the outermost position along the drum as it winds the fiber (e.g., rope, cable or wire). If the angle is too small, you'll won't be able to wind enough fiber for the system to be useful; if the angle is too large, the fiber will be pulled off the sheave's track, requiring you to shut down and repair the system.
. 1 Measure the direct distance from the front of the fixed sheave to the axis of the drum (in feet).

An angle bead is a bead worked on or fixed to the angle of any architectural work, for example protecting the angle of a wall.
You cannot. An exterior angle of a decagon can have any value.
Measure it with a protractor.
Measure it with a protractor. (If you needed a more mathematical answer with trigonomic functions, you need to state what data you know - i.e length of 2 sides, or length of one side and an angle, what the shape is etc... There is no general method to "how to work out the size of an angle" that works for all shapes.)
If each interior angle is 178 degrees then the regular polygon will have 180 sides.
