may this will help u
decagon means 10 sides
(n-2)*180/n
n=10
=(10-2)*180/10
=8*180 /10
=144

u can always remember the formula of each interior angle.
which is,
![\frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n} \frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%5Cfrac%7B%28n+-+2%29+%5Ctimes+180%7D%7Bn%7D+)
here n are the no. of sides of the polygon.
so , according to the question,
![\frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n} = 144 \frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n} = 144](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%5Cfrac%7B%28n+-+2%29+%5Ctimes+180%7D%7Bn%7D+%3D+144)
![{(n - 2) \times 180} = 144n {(n - 2) \times 180} = 144n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%7B%28n+-+2%29+%5Ctimes+180%7D+%3D+144n)
![180n - 360 = 144n 180n - 360 = 144n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=180n+-+360+%3D+144n)
![180n - 144n = 360 180n - 144n = 360](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=180n+-+144n+%3D+360)
![36n = 360 36n = 360](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=36n+%3D+360)
![n = 10 n = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n+%3D+10)
so there are 10 sides of the polygon
which is,
here n are the no. of sides of the polygon.
