If the measure of one exterior angle of a regular polygon is 40 degrees, how many sides does the polygon have?

The polygon has 9 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A regular polygon has equal length sides and equal interior angles

step 1

Find the measure of the interior angle

Remember that

The interior angle plus the exterior angle must be equal to 180 degrees (form a linear pair)

Let

x ----> the measure of each interior angle in the regular polygon

so

solve for x

step 2

Find the number of sides of the regular polygon

we know that

The measure of each interior angle in a regular polygon is given by the formula

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

substitute the given values

solve for n

therefore

The polygon has 9 sides

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
