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:
the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given line be A: y=3x+2
The slope of line A is m = 3.
The slope of any line B which is perpendicular to line A is the negative reciprocal of the slope of A: m = -(1/3).
The particular perpendicular line that passes through (3, 5) is then
5 = (-1/3)(3) + b, which simplifies to 5 = -1 + b, or b = 6.
Thus, the desired equation is y = (-1/3)x + 6
Add these together.
You get -15y=-45
So y=3
Now plug in to first equation.
8x-8(3)=-16
8x-24=-16
8x=8 so x=1
Check both values in second equation.
-8(1)-7(3)=
-8-21=-29
It works...so x=1, y=3
Im gonna go ahead and say it is 25
pls let me be right
The outlier would be the one with (17, 72) coordinates. If interpreted, the child is 17 years old and the number of pages the child reads in a week is 72. He appeared the outlier because his data was too far from the pattern of data relative to the sample.
