hii mate ,
________
A decagon has 10 sides and sum of the exterior angles of decagon = 3600
∵Decagon is regular
Measuer of each exterior angle = 36010=360−−−−−−−(i)
A pentagon has five sides and sum of interior angles of a pentagon
= (5−2)×1800=3×1800=5400
As pentagon is regular so measure of each angle of the pentagon
=54005=1080−−−−−(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
∴Measure of each exterior angle of a decagon=13Measure of each interior angle of a pentagon
Hence proved~~~~

A decagon has 10 sides and sum of the exterior angles of decagon = 3600
∵Decagon is regular
Measuer of each exterior angle = 360/10 = 36
A pentagon has five sides and sum of interior angles of a pentagon
= (5−2)×1800=3×1800=5400
As pentagon is regular so measure of each angle of the pentagon
=54005=1080−−−−−(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
measure of each exterior angle of a decagon /measure of each interior angle of a pentagon measure of each interior angle of a pentagon measure of each exterior angle of a decagon
=> 36/108 = 1/3
∴Measure of each exterior angle of a decagon=3 Measure of each interior angle of a pentagon
Hence proved.
