What is a Decagon? 

A decagon is a ten-sided polygon. That means it has ten angles and ten sides. All of the sides are equal in length, and all of the angles are equal in measure. You can see what a decagon looks like in the figure below. 

 

Decagons are interesting shapes, and they have some unique properties. For example, all regular decagons are convex. That means that if you were to draw a line between any two points inside the decagon, that line would never cross the edge of the decagon. You can see this in the figure below. 

 

Another interesting property of decagons is that they are cyclic polygons. That means that you can draw a circle that will pass through all of the vertices (corners) of the decagon. The figure below shows an example of this. 

 

Conclusion: 

Decagons are ten-sided polygons with some interesting properties. They are convex, which means that you can draw a line between any two points inside the decagon without crossing the edge of the decagon. They are also cyclic polygons, which means that you can draw a circle that will pass through all of the vertices (corners) of the decagon.

 

FAQ

What are the properties of decagon?

Decagons are ten-sided polygons with some interesting properties. They are convex, which means that you can draw a line between any two points inside the decagon without crossing the edge of the decagon. They are also cyclic polygons, which means that you can draw a circle that will pass through all of the vertices (corners) of the decagon.

 

How do you draw a decagon shape?

To draw a decagon, start by drawing a line segment. Then, use a protractor to measure out 10 equal angles along the line segment. Next, connect each of the angles with line segments to form the sides of the decagon. Finally, erase any unnecessary lines and you're done!

 

What is a 10 point shape called?

A ten point shape is called a decagon. A decagon is a ten-sided polygon. That means it has ten angles and ten sides. All of the sides are equal in length, and all of the angles are equal in measure. You can see what a decagon looks like in the figure below.

 

What is a Decagon in Geometry?

In geometry, a decagon is any polygon with ten sides and ten angles. A regular decagon has all sides of equal length and all angles of equal measure.

 

How many sides does a Decagon have?

A decagon has ten sides.
