Answer:

Polygon is pentagon

Explanation:

In a regular polygon each angle is equal.

In a regular polygon Each angle of polygon is given by (2n-4)90/n

where n is the number of sides of the polygon

given

An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 108°.

(2n-4)90/n = 108

=> 180n - 360 = 108n

=> 180n-108n= 360

=> 72n = 360

=> n = 360/72 = 5

Thus, polygon has 5 sides

and we know that regular polygon which has 5 sides is called pentagon.

Thus, Polygon is pentagon
