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
