6.6 Symmetries of Regular
Polygons
A Solidify Understanding Task
A line that reflects a figure onto itself is called a line of symmetry. A figure that can be carried onto
itself by a rotation is said to have rotational symmetry. A diagonal of a polygon is any line
segment that connects non-consecutive vertices of the polygon.
For each of the following regular polygons, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto
itself: (be as specific as possible in your descriptions, such as specifying the angle of rotation)
1. An equilateral triangle
2. A square
3. A regular pentagon
4. A regular hexagon
Answer:

Answer:
1. $137.75
3. $149.15
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
12.25+125.50=137.75
3. 8.25% of 137.75= 11.4
137.75+11.4=149.15
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between a point (m, n ) and the line
Ax + By + C = 0
d = 
Here (m, n) = (6, 2) and rearranging the line
6x - y + 3 = 0 ← in general form
with A = 6, B = - 1 and C = 3 , then
d = 
= 
=
Rationalise the denominator by multiplying numerator/ denominator by 
=
×
=
← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

The length of the rectangle is = 72 cm
The width of the rectangle is = 56 cm
Area of the rectangle is = 
=
cm²
As given, the other rectangle has the same area as this one, but its width is 21 cm.
Let the length here be = x


Hence, length is 192 cm.
We can see that as width decreases, the length increases if area is constant and when length decreases then width increases if area is constant.
So, in the new rectangle,constant of variation=k is given by,
or 
Hence, the constant of variation is
