Polygon are 2 dimensional shape

Red Velvet · Answer 2

The sum of all the exterior angles for any regular polygon equals 360°;

Therefore if each exterior angle is equal to 9°, the number of exterior angles, which is equal to the number of sides, is found by:

360/9 = 40

Therefore the polygon has 40 sides.
