Pronunciation: [dɪkˈanɡjʊlə] (IPA) 
The word "Decangular" is spelled with the prefix "deca-" meaning ten, and the root word "angular" meaning having angles. The IPA phonetic transcription of "Decangular" is /dɛˈkæŋɡjələr/. This word is pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable and is commonly used in geometry to describe a shape with ten angles. It is important to spell this word correctly to avoid confusion in mathematical and technical communication.
Decangular is an adjective used to describe a shape or structure that has ten angles. The term is derived from the Latin word "deca," which means "ten," and the word "angular," which refers to angles.
In geometry, a decangular shape can be either a two-dimensional figure or a three-dimensional object. A decagonal polygon is a flat, closed shape with ten sides and ten angles. All of the angles in a decagon are equal, measuring 144 degrees each, making their sum equal to 1440 degrees. Examples of decagonal shapes include stars with ten points, such as the popular symbol of the American flag, and certain flowers, like the tropical hibiscus.
In three-dimensional geometry, a decagonal structure refers to a solid object with ten flat surfaces, each of which form a right angle with the adjacent surfaces. These can be found in architecture and design, such as in the form of decagonal prisms or decagonal pyramids. These structures may possess varying dimensions, giving rise to different sizes and proportions of decagonal shapes.
Overall, the term "decangular" is utilized to categorize shapes or structures that possess ten angles, whether they are flat or three-dimensional.
Having ten angles.

The word "decangular" is derived from the combination of two roots: "deca" and "angular".
The root "deca" comes from the Greek word "deka", which means "ten". It is commonly used in various words related to the number ten, such as "decade" (period of ten years) and "decimal" (related to the system of counting in tens).
The root "angular" originates from the Latin word "angulus", meaning "angle" or "corner". It is used to describe objects or shapes that have distinct angles or corners, such as "triangle" (three angles) and "rectangle" (four angles).
By combining these two roots, "deca" and "angular", the word "decangular" is formed. It suggests an object or shape that has ten angles or corners.
