Answer
(a) The number of sides of the polygon is
sides.(b) The sum of all the interior angles of this regular polygon is \( (n-2) \times 180 = (10-2) \times 180 = 1440^{\circ} \).
Explanation
## Step1:The number of sides of a regular polygon can be found by dividing 360 degrees by the measure of each exterior angle. ###
## Step2:The sum of all the interior angles of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula \((n-2) \times 180\), where
is the number of sides.### \( \text{Sum of interior angles} = (n-2) \times 180 \)
