Answer :
9
Explanation :

Number of sides = 360/exterior angle

Answer:


\large \bf \implies{9}

Explanation:

Given :

  • angle 40°

To Find :

  • number of sides of a regular polygon, whose each exterior angle has a measure of 40°

Solution :

Since, the given polygon is a regular polygon.

It's each exterior angle is equal.

Sum of all the exterior angles = 360°

Number of exterior angles =
(360\degree)/(40\degree) = 9°


\longrightarrowNumber of sides = 9

Hence, it is nonagon.
