\n" ); document.write( "Since the interior angle is 144 degree, each exterior angle is 180 - 144 = 36 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For any convex polygon (in particularly, for any regular polygon) the sum of exterior angles is 360 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, the number of sides = the number of vertices = \"360%2F36\" = 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer. Your polygon is decagon with 10 sides (vertices).\r
