Each exterior angle of a regular polygon with n sides is 360/n degrees.

So, for a decagon, it would be 360/10 = 36 degrees.

How do you work out exterior angle of an decagon?

You cannot. An exterior angle of a decagon can have any value.


What is the interior and exterior angle of a regular octagon?

To work this out, all the external angles of any shape add up to 360°, so all we need to do to work the external angle out is divide 360° by the number of sides giving us a sum of 360 divided by 8 sides = 45°; so now we have the exterior angle we can easily find the internal angle, we do this by subtracting the external angle which in the case of an octagon is 45° from 180° thus giving us 135°, of course this is only going to work on a regular shape with equal sides as an irregular shape is going to have different angles but will still total 360°.The interior angle of a regular octagon is 135° and the external 45°.By tash2010


Work out the number of sides of a regular polygon with the interior angle of 178?

If each interior angle is 178 degrees then the regular polygon will have 180 sides.


How do you work out the exterior angles of a pentagon?

Exterior angles of ANY regular n-sided polygon are 360/n degrees. Where n is 5 this gives 72 deg.


How do you work out the amount of sides o a exterior angle that is 10?

To work out the number of sides, this polygon has to be a regular polygon in which all the interior angles are the same A regular polygon has exterior angles of 10o, therefore it must have interior angles of 180o - 10o = 170o Total interior angles = (Number of sides - 2)x180o Therefore each interior angle = [(Number of sides - 2)x180o]/Number of sides n = number of sides 170o = [(n-2)x180o]/n 170no = 180no-360o 360o = 10no n = 360o/10o n = 36
