Exprless in the 3 systems of angular measurement the magnlitude of the angle of a regular decagon. The corollary to Euc. I. 32 states that all the interior angles of any rectilinear figure together with four right angles are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides. Let the angle of a decagon contain x right angles, so that all the angles are together equal to 10x right angles. The corollary therefore states that 10x+4 = 20, 8 so that x= right angles. But one right angle = 90~ = 100z = 2 radians. Hence the required angle = 144~ =160s= 4 radians. EXAMPLES. III.
