You need to identify that number of sides of the polygon. In this case it has 12 sides.

In order to find the measure of the interior angles of a polygon, you can use the formula shown below:


InteriorAngle=(180(n-2))/(n)

Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon.

In this case you know that:


n=12

Finally, substituting the value of "n" into the formula and evaluating, you get the following result:


\begin{gathered} InteriorAngle=(180(12-2))/(12) \\ \\ InteriorAngle=(1800)/(12) \\ \\ InteriorAngle=150\degree \end{gathered}

Since it is regular, all the interior angles have equal measure.

Therefore, the answer is:


150\degree
