Explain why a regular polygon cannot have an interior angle that is 40°.

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the interior angle of any regular polygon is given as;

Interior Angle = 180(n - 2)/n

Where n is number of sides

We are told the interior angle is 40°

Thus;

180(n - 2)/n = 40

Cross multiply to get;

180n - 360 = 40n

180n - 40n = 360

140n = 360

n = 360/140

n = 2.57

Number of sides of a regular polygon cannot be in decimal nor can it have less than 3 sides.

Thus, a shape with interior angle of 40 cannot be a polygon.

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
