    Consider the center of the nonagon. If we join the center to all the vertices, the central angle of 360°, is divided into 9 equal angles, each with a measure of:

    360°/9=40°

    So to a nonagon rotated 40°, clockwise or counterclockwise, is indistinguishable from the original one.

    similarly if we rotate 80 ° c. wise or c. c. wise

    in general, a nonagon has a rotational symmetry of 40°n,

    where n∈{ ... - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3} ...

    where 40°n, for n negative, means we are rotating clockwise.

    Answer: any angle which is a multiple of 40°
