The sum of intern angles of any polygon is represented by the following expression:


\begin{gathered} (n-2)\cdot180 \\ \text{whre,} \\ n\text{ is the number of vertices} \end{gathered}

Since a 40-gon, has 40 vertices, the sum of its intern angles would be:


\begin{gathered} (40-2)\cdot180=6840\text{ degrees} \\ \end{gathered}

Then, each angle have a measure:


(6840)/(40)=171\text{ degrees}
