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
Sorry i really need points
Answer:
7 x 2 + 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Equals to the bottom line answer is 7
> this is the sign for the larger absolute value
Answer: x = 8, y = 2, coordinates (8,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 4y + 8 (divide by 2 to get value of x)
x = 2y + 4
(now substitute x into the second equation to find value of y)
2y + 4 - 2y = 4
2y - 2y = 4 - 4 (divide by 2 to get value of y)
y - y = 2 - 2
y = 2
Now plug in value of "y" to get value of "x".
x - 2(2) = 4
x - 4 = 4
x = 8
Coordinates (8,2)
