A regular polygon has 15 sides. Which is a possible angle of rotational symmetry for the figure? 12° 45° 72° 90°
2 answers:
Answer:
Option (3). 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle of rotational symmetry = Central angle of a polygon
That means when we rotate the regular polygon by a central angle, polygon overlaps itself.
Central angle of a polygon with n sides =
Where n = number of sides of the polygon
Therefore, central angle of a polygon with 15 sides =
= 24°
Central angle tells us that after every 24° of rotation, polygon overlaps itself.
Angle of rotational symmetry may be 48°, 72°, 96°.....
Therefore, Option (3) is the possible angle of rotational symmetry.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the cosine theorem:
The angle is 114.014 degrees if we substract 90 degrees it means that at point L the plane changed its angle by 24 degrees
