Find the number of sides of a regular polygon with each interior angle equal to 140degree
The formula to find value of each interior angle can be used to find the number of sides of the regular polygon
Each Angle (of a Regular Polygon) = (n-2) × 180° / n
Here we know the value of angle i.e. 140 degree.
Substitute the same in the formula above and find the value of n
140 = (n-2) × 180° / n
Multiplying by 'n' on both sides
140n = 180n -360
140n-180n = -360
-40n = -360
Dividing by -40 on both sides we get
n = 9
the regular polygon has 9 sides i.e. its a Nonagon

Find the number of sides of a regular polygon with each interior angle equal to 140degree
==================
Exterior angles = 180 - 140 = 40 degs
360/40 = 9 sides
