Answer

$m$ of the interior angles in a decagon = $1440^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

According to the Polygon Angle-Sum Theorem, the sum of all the measures of the interior angles of a polygon is $(n - 2)180$, where $n$ is the number of sides of the polygon. A decagon has $10$ sides. $m$ of the interior angles in a decagon = $(10 - 2)180$ $m$ of the interior angles in a decagon = $(8)180$ Multiply to solve: $m$ of the interior angles in a decagon = $1440^{\circ}$
