The circle is drawn by rotating the point drawn 360 degrees. If the circle is divided into parts, where each angle measures 40 degrees, then you can determine the number of sides by dividing 360 by 40. The answer will be 9. Therefore, the polygon is a nonagon.

EACH central angle = 360 / number of sides
number of sides = 360 / each central angle
number of sides = 360 / 40
number of sides = 9
