Answer:

Yes, it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every regular shaped figure will have rotational symmetry, since they are built with identical segments all around.

To find the answer, ask yourself « If I rotate the shape, is there a time where I’ll find the exact same shape again with a different angle? »

So, a square has rotational symmetry, but not a rectangle.

A equilateral triangle has rotational symmetry, but not any other type of triangle.

How do I calculate these division facts and what’s the answer 63 ÷ 7 56 ÷ 7

bixtya [17]

Answer:

63 divided by 7 is 9

56 divided by 7 is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't really know how to explain it, because it's kind of complicated to do it how I answered it. I will try, but what you do is write out the equation using the little line division thing with the divisor and the dividend. First for 63 divided by 7, how many times can 7 go into 6? 0, so put a 0 on top of the 6. Then, minus 6 by 0, which is 6. Then, drop down the 3 in the ones place to where the difference of the subtraction problem is, which of 6. Then, we try to find a product that is 63 or close to 63 in a multiplication problem, and one of those factors has to be 7. 7 x 9 = 63, so put a 9 on top of the 3 at the beginning and minus 63 - 63, which is 0, meaning it has no remainder. Very hard to explain digitally, look up a video for help.

Euleuy VI, Ulalla PUSIUI 407220)

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Using the Angle Addition Postulate, 20 + m∠DBC = 80. So, m∠DBC = 60° using the subtraction property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

If point D is the interior of angle ABC, then the angle addition postulate theory states that the sum of angle ABD and angle DBC is equals to angle ABC. The angle addition postulate is used to measure the resulting angle from two angles placed side by side.

From the attached image, ∠ABD and ∠DBC are placed side by side to form ∠ABC. Given that m∠ABD = 20° and m∠ABC = 80°

Hence, using angle addition postulate:

m∠ABD + m∠DBC = m∠ABC

20 + m∠DBC = 80

subtracting 20 from both sides (subtraction property of equality)

m∠DBC = 80 - 20

m∠DBC = 60°

A train leaves a station and travels north at a speed of 105105 km/h. twotwo hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel

hram777 [196]

Let x = hours to meet

train one has a 2 hour head start or 210 km head start

210 + 105x = 135x
30x = 210
x = 7 hours to meet

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

stellarik [79]

well, looking at the picture of this vertically opening parabola, it has a vertex at 0,0 and it passes through 2,1 hmm ok

$~~~~~~\textit{vertical parabola vertex form} \\\\ y=a(x- h)^2+ k\qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\\\\ \stackrel{"a"~is~negative}{op ens~\cap}\qquad \stackrel{"a"~is~positive}{op ens~\cup} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ y = a(x-0)^2+0\qquad \stackrel{\textit{we also know that}}{x=2\qquad y = 1}\qquad \implies 1=a(2-0)^2+0 \\\\\\ 1=4a\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=a~\hspace{10em} \boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{4}x^2}$
