6.6 Symmetries of Regular
Polygons
A Solidify Understanding Task
A line that reflects a figure onto itself is called a line of symmetry. A figure that can be carried onto
itself by a rotation is said to have rotational symmetry. A diagonal of a polygon is any line
segment that connects non-consecutive vertices of the polygon.
For each of the following regular polygons, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto
itself: (be as specific as possible in your descriptions, such as specifying the angle of rotation)
1. An equilateral triangle
2. A square
3. A regular pentagon
4. A regular hexagon
<h3>Answer:</h3>
none of these has "no solution"
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
A. The solution is (8/3, 3)
B. The second equation is -1/2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
C. The solution is (-4, -2)
D. The solution is (4, -2)
E. The second equation is 2 times the first, so these describe the same line. The system has an <em>infinite number of solutions</em>.
_____
A system of equations will have "no solution" when it describes parallel lines—lines that do not intersect. In standard form, such equations are recognizable by their different constants. For example,
- 3x -4y = -4
- 3x -4y = 20 . . . . . . 20 is different from -4
have different constants, so the equations describe parallel lines.
We could multiply one of these by -2 and the system would still be "inconsistent"—having no solution.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if we're going by a 24 pack of soda, 3/8 would be 9 sodas while 4/12 is a third, which would be 8 sodas
Find the slop equation.
Slope: -3
Y-intetrcept: -3
Now write it as an inuquality.
It's shaded to the left and the line is not fully filled in. Which means that whatever "y" is, it's Less than the and equal to the slope.
Hope this helps :)
