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.

Answer:

Center = (4, -5)

radius = 6

======================================================

Explanation:

The general template of any circle is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Rewrite the given equation into this form

(x-4)^2 + (y- (-5))^2 = 6^2

We can see that (h,k) = (4,-5) is the center and r = 6 is the radius.
