To know the minimum rotation we have to do to map the figure onto itself, we just divide 360° by the total number of sides


(360)/(9)=40

So, every rotation that can be divide by 40 would be the answer, let's divide


\begin{gathered} (60)/(40)=1.5 \\ (160)/(40)=4 \\ (280)/(40)=7 \\ (100)/(40)=2.5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the right answers are 160° and 280°.
