Final answer:

The measure of an interior angle of a regular 10-gon is calculated using the formula for interior angles of a regular polygon and equals 144 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the measure of an interior angle of a regular 10-gon (a decagon), we use the formula for the interior angles of a regular polygon, which is:

(n - 2) × 180°, where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

For a 10-gon, n = 10:

((10 - 2) × 180°) / 10 = (8 × 180°) / 10 = 1440° / 10 = 144°.

Therefore, the measure of one interior angle of a regular 10-gon is 144 degrees.
