Answer:

9 sides

Explanation:

The formula for number of sides of a polygon with a given central angle

Number of sides = 360°/ central angle

In the above question, we were told that each of the central angles in the polygon ha a measure of 40°

Hence,

Number of sides = 360°/40°

9 sides.

Therefore, the number of sides that polygon in the above question has is 9 sides.
