Consider the regular pentagon ABCDE, with center (of mass) O.

The central angle O is a complete angle, so its measure is 360°.

It is divided into 5 equal parts, so each of them has a measure of 360°/5=72°.

If we rotate the pentagon, with point O as the center of the rotation, we can map A to any of the other points.

The smallest angle of rotation is the angle which mas A to E, 72°.

Answer: 72°

Answer:

0.6710

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 107 millimeters and the population standard deviation is 5 millimeters.

Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is between 104 and 115 millimeters. Round your answer to four decimal places.

We solve using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean = 107 mm

σ is the population standard deviation = 5 mm

For x = 104 mm

z = 104 - 107/5

z = -0.6

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 104) = 0.27425

For x = 115 mm

z = 115 - 107/5

z = 1.6

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 115) = 0.9452

The probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is between 104 and 115 millimeters is calculated as:

P(x = 115) - P(x = 104)

0.9452 - 0.27425

= 0.67095

Approximately = 0.6710
