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
Answer:
The slope is 5/-2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is y1-y2 over m1-m2 (rise over run). The first ordered pair is -2 (m1) and 11 (y1). We then subtract the second ordered pair (4 (m2) and -4 (y2)) from the first.
11 - (-4) = 11 + 4 = 15
-2 - 4 = -6
Remember, slope is rise over run (y over x), so the slope is 15/-6. Now, we must simplify. 15/-6 = 5/-2
Dean went wrong because he thought that slope was run over rise (x over y). If he had switched the two numbers, his answer would have been correct.
Answer:
You spent 18.25, and got 1.75 in change
Step-by-step explanation:
3.25 + 11 + 4 = 18.25
20.00 - 18.25 = 1.75
Answer:
Number one will be 11 minutes
Number two will be 525 words
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: approximately 29 feet
Explanation: You need to find a tree so that the angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to top of the tree is 40 degrees.
The length of the shadow is an adjacent side and is 35.
The height of the tree is the opposite side. You could use X.
Tan ratio = opposite/adjacent
tan(40) = x/35
x = 35*tan(40) =29.37
