One exterior angle of a regular polygon measures 36 degrees. What is the sum of the polygons interior angle measures?
------------------------------------
Sum of exterior angle = 360 degrees.
# of exterior angles in your problem = 360/36 = 10
----
# of sides of the polygon = 10
----
Sum of interior angles = (n-2)180 = 8*180 = 1440 degrees
