You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is 144 degrees find the number of sides of the polygon?
--------------------------------------
The corresponding exterior angle is 36 degrees.
------------------------------------------
The sum of the exterior angles is always 360.
Equation:
# of exterior angles = 360/36 = 10
----
Therefore the number of sides is 10.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any polygon is where n is the number of sides. Therefore, the measure of one of the interior angles of a regular polygon is this sum divided by the number of interior angles in the polygon which is always identical to the number of sides of the polygon.
