Answer:

9 sides

Explanation:

exterior angle + interior angle = 180° , so

exterior angle + 140° = 180° ( subtract 140° from both sides )

exterior angle = 40°

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

Dividing sum by the measure of 1 exterior angles gives number of sides

number of sides =
(360)/(40) = 9
