A decagon has interior angle measures of 156, 178, 124, 132, 138, 142, 116, 178, and 159. Find the measure of the missing angle. (Show work) please and thanks!

I beilive I have heard that  a decagon equals 1440 degree's what you can do lets see you have 9 angles degree mesaurments on here add them then subtract the sum from 1440 after that your diffrence will be your answer..... 

like this 

 

 

\(156 + 178 + 124 +132 +138+142+116+178 +159 = sum\)

 

\( 1440 - sum = difference \)

 

\(Difference = answer.\)

The formula for the sum of the angles of an n-gon (in this case, a 10-gon), is 180(n - 2). So, the sum of the angles is 1440. Now, we just calculate 1440 - (156 + 178 + 124 + 132 + 138 + 142 + 116 + 178 + 159) = 1440 - 1323 = 117.

 

Hoping this helped,
