Explanation

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon, use 180(n − 2), where n is the number of sides: Sum of the interior angles = 180(9 − 2) → 180(7) → 1260°.

Since this 9-sided figure is regular, all of the interior angles are equal: 1260° \(\div\) 9 = 140°.

Now we can find x:

x° + 140° = 180°

x = 40°


Hence the value 40 is correct.

isnt 360/n a simpler solution? 360/9=40

Points to remember:-

Sum of Interior Angles = (n-2) × 180° (n = number of sides)

Each Angle (of a Regular Polygon) = \(\frac{(n-2) * 180}{n}\)
