Answer:

The answer is any multiple of 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

A decagon has 10 sides, and it has 10 exterior angles of 36° as can be seen in the picture.

Therefore, by rotating the decagon about its center by multiples of 36° will carry a regular decagon onto itself.

Any multiple of 36 could be: 36, 72, 108, 144, 180, 216, 252, 288, etc...

A decagon has 10 sides so every 36 degrees, you would encounter another side.
So, the answer is a 36 degree rotation.

It is given in the question that

Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.

Maximum she can spend is $200. That is

$0.45x + 0.58y \leq 200
\\ y< \frac{1}{2} x$
