I'm not sure if it would be a decagon, nonogon, hexagon, or an octagon. I"m bad at this stuff.
If the interior angle of a regular polygon is 144 then
the exterior angle of the said polygon is 180 - 144 = 36
Using the formula of exterior angle of a polygon = 360/n , where n is the number of sides of polygon
36 = 360/n
36n = 360
n = 360/36
n = 10
The polygon with 10 sides is a decagon
Since it is a regular polygon, all interior angles are equal i.e each interior angle is 144 deg
from formula for total angle A, of a polygon; A=(n-2)*180
where n is the number of sides of a regular polygon
Let's get an expression for A, A=144*n
therefore from the formula
144*n=(n-2)*180
solving for n
144n=180n-360
360=180n-144n
360=36n
n=10
Hence, the polygon is a Decagon
All the angles inside a regular polygon are equal, and the sum of the angles is always equal to: 180(n - 2), where n is the number of sides.
Therefore, the measure of an angle inside a polygon is 180(n-2) / n = 144
180(n - 2) = 144n
It's a decagon. Hope I helped!!
The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides is: 180(n-2)
--------------
n
so set the formula equal to 144 and multiply by n on both sides.
180(n-2)=144n
Distribute: 180n-360=144n
Put like terms together: 36n=360
Divide by 36: n=10
So Decagon
Decagon
total internal angles
=180*(n-2)
= 180 (10-2)
= 180 (8)
= 1440 degrees
1440/10 angles = 144 degrees
144= (n-2)*180/n
gives n=10
