This problem is asking us to make an algebraic equation or representation of the situation. First we have to assign the variables which is already given in the problem. H is the number of the home team and V is the visiting team. Since the problem states there are the home team has five times as manyfans as the visiting team, then it can be represented as:

H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations simultaneously. The results are 43,333 and 8,667.

If a 12 sided regular polygon rotates about its center at which angle of rotation will the image of the polygon coinside with th

Amanda [17]

Answer: 30 degrees

This is the minimum amount of rotation.

Why this value? Well because 360/12 = 30

Consider a triangle with 3 sides. Specifically I mean an equilateral triangle. We can rotate it 120 degrees to have it line up with itself. Now notice that 360/3 = 120.

For a square, we can rotate it 90 degrees and we can say 360/4 = 90

So the general rule is that the minimum angle of rotation is 360/n, where n is the number of sides. This rule only works for regular polygons. Regular polygons have the same side length and the same angle measure (the side and angle measure won't necessarily be equal).

So going back to this 12 sided dodecagon, we have n = 12 and 360/n = 360/12 = 30 as the minimum angle of rotation. Each 30 degree rotation will have the polygon match up perfectly with its old image. The preimage and image will be identical.
