Question

A regular decagon is rotated n degrees about its center, carrying the decagon onto itself. The value of n could be:

Answer 1

Answer:

252°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Decagon

Required

Determine the value of n

A Decagon has 10 sides and a complete rotation takes 360°

First, we need to calculate the angle of each rotation as follows.

Each Rotation = ⅒ * 360°

Each Rotation = 360°

Next, we determine the possible values of n.

The statement is represented as "possible values of n" because n can assume infinite number of values.

However, n must be a multiple of 36

From the list of given options.

10, 150 and 225 are not multiples of 36

Only 252 happens to be a multiple of 36 from the list of given options.

Hence, option D answers the question [base on the given options]
