If an interior angle of a regular polygon is a multiple of 1 0 , then the exterior angle of a regular polygon must also be a multiple of 1 0 (since both add up to 1 8 0 ° , another multiple of 1 0 ).
Since each exterior angle is n 3 6 0 , the number of angle solutions that are a multiple of 1 0 would be the number of factors of 1 0 3 6 0 = 3 6 that are greater or equal to 3 (since a polygon must have at least 3 sides). Since 3 6 = 2 2 3 2 , its total number of factors is ( 2 + 1 ) ( 2 + 1 ) = 9 , and excluding 1 and 2 since a polygon must have at least 3 sides, the total number of polygons such that their angles (in degrees) are a multiple of 1 0 is 9 − 2 = 7 .

so required is 2x, 2x=180-360/n
180-360/n=10k => n=36/(18-k)
factors of 36 are 1,2,3,4,6,9,12,36
for 18-k,36 is not permissible as n>2
so other than 36 there 7 factors
