The sum of the INterior angles of a n-sided polygon is given
by the formula;
(n-2)×180° = the sum of the n INterior angles.
A nonagon has 9 sides, so we substitute 9 for n:
(9-2)×180° = the sum of the 9 INterior angles.
7×180° = the sum of the 9 INterior angles.
1260° = the sum of the 9 INterior angles.
Since the nonagon is a REGULAR nonagon, all of the INterior
angles are equal, and since there are 9 of them, we divide the
1260° by 9 and get 140° for each of the INterior angles.

The sum of the EXterior angles of every polygon is
360° = the sum of the 9 EXterior angles.
Since the nonagon is a REGULAR nonagon, all of the EXterior
angles are equal, and since there are 9 of them, we divide the
360° by 9 and get 40° for each of the EXterior angles.
