Answer:

pentagon

Explanation:

Recall that for any regular polygon, the number of sides and the interior angles are related through the following formula.

Interior Angle, θ = 180(n-2) / n ; where n is the number of sides

Rearranging :

θ = 180(n-2) / n

nθ = 180 (n-2)

nθ = 180n - 2(180)

nθ = 180n - 360

180n - nθ = 360

n(180 - θ) = 360

n = 360 / (180 - θ) (given that θ = 108°)

n = 360 / (180 - 108)

n = 5

since the polygon has 5 sides, it is a pentagon
