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:
p = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2 x 2x4 = px6
6 × 8 = 6p
48 = 6p
p = 48/6
p = 8

Answer:
FG = 9.7ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram in the attachment.
The diagram is a right angled triangle since one of its angle is 90°
Using SOH CAH TOA to calculate the length FG which is the hypotenuse.
According to SOH
Sin∠G = Opposite/Hypotenuse
To get the ∠G,
∠F+∠H+∠G = 180°
18°+90°+∠G = 180°
∠G = 180°-108°
∠G = 72°
Sin72° = 9.2/FG
FG = 9.2/sin72°
FG = 9.67feet
FG = 9.7ft (to the nearest tenth of a foot)
