The answer depends on what it is that you are measuring: interior angles. exterior angles, perimeter, area, apothem, principal diagonal, etc. And since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.

What is the measure of the central angle of a decagon?

30


What is the measure of an interior angle of a regular decagon?

144


What is the angle measure of each interior angle of a regular decagon?

The angle measure for each interior is 144 degrees each.Explanation: The angle measure of each interior angle of a regular decagon is 144°. Since a decagon is a 10-sided figure, replace n by 10 in (n − 2) • 180°. So the sum of the interior angle measures in a decagon is (10 − 2) • 180°, or 8 • 180° = 1440°. This is a regular decagon, so all ten interior angles are congruent. To calculate the measure of each interior angle in this regular decagon, divide 1440 by 10. The answer is 144°. 144 degrees is equal to 4/5 of 180 degrees


How many degrees would each angle in a regular decagon?

Each interior angle of a regular decagon would measure 144 degrees,


Abcdefghij is a regular decagon if sides CD and ab are extended to form angle k what is the measure of angle k?

The total degree measure in a decagon is 180(8) since a decagon can be broken up into 8 triangles. In a regular decagon, each angle has the same measure: 180(8)/10=18(8)=144. The supplementary angle, 36, is therefore the angle between the side bc and (each of) the two extended sides ab, CD outside of the decagon. The remaining angle, k, of the triangle thus formed is 180-2(36)=180-72=108. A sneaky way to get the same answer is to notice that if we extend every other side of the regular decagon, we get a (larger) regular pentagon. The angle k is one of these angles, so it is 108.
