<h3>Answer: Choice A. </h3><h3>interior = 140, exterior = 40</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
For me, I find it easier to find the exterior angle first. For any convex polygon, the sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees. When we talk about regular polygons with n sides, each exterior angle is 360/n degrees. In this case, we have a nonagon with 9 sides. So n = 9 is plugged into 360/n to get 360/9 = 40 as the exterior angle measure
exterior angle = 40
We could stop here since we can see the answer must be choice A. But let's keep going. To get the interior angle, we subtract the result we got from 180
interior angle = 180-(exterior angle) = 180-40 = 140
This is because any adjacent pair of interior and exterior angles must form a straight angle of 180 degrees.

side note: you could use the formula to find the measure of the interior angle.

Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or GCF of 8 and 18, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.
To find the factors of 8, we know that 8 ÷ 1 is 8 so 1 and 8 are factors.
8 ÷ 2 is 4 so 2 and 4 are factors.
However, if we continue to divide 8 by 3, 4, 5, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
Now let's find the factors of 18.
18 ÷ 1 is 18 so 1 and 18 are factors.
18 ÷ 2 is 9 so 2 and 9 are factors.
18 ÷ 3 is 6 so 3 and 6 are factors.
However, if we continue to divide by 4, 5, 6, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.
Notice that our lists share a 1 but the largest number they share is a <em>2</em><em>.</em>

So the greatest common factor or <em>gcf</em> of 8 and 18 is 2.
