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
Step-by-step explanation:
the rhombus is both rectangle and square
Answer:
6,28
Step-by-step explanation:
NOT NEEDED FOR THIS QUESTION
1) function f(x)
x - 5
f(x) = ----------------
3x^2 - 17x - 28
2) factor the denominator:
3x^2 - 17x - 28 = (3x + 4)(x - 7)
x - 5
=> f(x) = -----------------------
(3x + 4) (x - 7)
3) Find the limits when x → - 4/3 and when x → 7
Lim of f(x) when x → - 4/3 = +/- ∞
=> vertical assymptote x = - 4/3
Lim of f(x) when x → 7 = +/- ∞
=> vertical assymptote x = 7
Answer: there are assympotes at x = 7 and x = - 4/3
1. Length is 14 cm
2. Length is 20.4 cm
3. Not completely sure about 3
