Square GHIJ shares a common center with regular hexagon ABCDEF on a coordinate plane. AB is parallel to GH. If the combined figu
re rotates clockwise about its center, at which angle of rotation will the image coincide with the preimage? A. 60 degrees B. 180 degrees C. 90 drerees D. 240 degrees
2 answers:
Answer: B. 180°.
Step-by-step explanation: In the attached figure, GHIJ is a square and ABCDEF is a regular hexagon having common centre O.
A square is symmetric at a rotational angle of 90° and a regular hexagon is symmetric at a rotational angle of 60°.
So, to bring the image of the square and the hexagon back to the previous position, we need to find the LCM of both the angles.
LCM(60°,90°)=180°.
So, the correct option is B. 180°.

We can set this problem up as an algebraic equation, which we can then solve to find our answer.
We start at -3. So we can start our equation with that:
However, this doesn't represent any change in temperature, just that we start at -3. To show change, we will use the variable , where
stands for the number of hours. Each hour accounts for a change of -2.5 in degrees, meaning that we must multiply our
by -2.5. We can now add this term into our equation:
We are trying to find when we will reach -18 degrees, so we will set our entire equation equal to -18 and solve:
It will take us 6 hours, or choice A.
