Each interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 40.how many sides does the polygon have?​

Sagot :

Given Information :-

  • Each exterior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 40°

To Find :-

  • The number of sides of the polygon

Formula Used :-

[tex] \qquad \star \: \underline{ \boxed{ \green{ \sf No.~of~sides = \dfrac{360^ \circ}{exterior ~angle}}}} \: \star[/tex]

Solution :-

Using the formula,

[tex] \sf \dashrightarrow No. ~of~sides= \dfrac{360}{40} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow No. ~of~sides= \frac{ \cancel{360}}{ \cancel{40} } \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow No. ~of~sides= \underline{ \boxed{ \blue { \frak{9}}}} \: \star[/tex]

Thus, the polygon is a nonagon, and hence has 9 sides.
