Answer:

The number of sides the polygon have 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in question as :

For The circle ,  the central angles measure be 40 °

Let the number of sides of polygon =  n

Now . as we know

External angle =  [tex]\frac{360^{\circ} }{n}[/tex]

Or ,           40° = [tex]\frac{360^{\circ} }{n}[/tex]

Or, [tex]\frac{360^{\circ} }{n}[/tex] = 40°

Or, [tex]\frac{360^{\circ} }{n}[/tex] = 40°

So, n = [tex]\frac{360^{\circ} }{40^{\circ}}[/tex] = 9

Hence The number of sides the polygon have 9      Answer
