For a regular polygon, all sides are equal, and all interior angles are equal.
Take any two angles, add them: 108+108=216
A circle always has a total of 360 degrees.
Subtract the sum of the two angles from 360: 360-216=144
The sum of remaining angles must total 144.
It takes two sides to form an angle, therefore we divide by 2: 144/2=72
Now we divide the circle by 72: 360/72=5 sides.
We see it is a pentagon. The sum of the angles in a pentagon is always 540.
Therefore we can check our work: 540/5=108 (our original known angle!)
