ABCDEFGHIJ is a regular decagon. It rotates clockwise about its center to form the polygon A′B′C′D′E′F′G′H′I′J′. Match each angle of rotation to the point that A′ (the image of A) coincides with after that rotation.

Respuesta :

I haven't seen  A, so I'm started with angle A as 36°

∠A = 36°
∠B = 36° + 36° = 72°
∠C = 72° + 36° = 108
∠D = 108° + 36° = 144°
∠E = 144° + 36° = 180°
∠F = 180° + 36° = 216°
∠G = 216° + 36° = 252°
∠H = 252° + 36° = 288°
∠I = 288° + 36° = 324°
∠J = 324° + 36° = 360°

Answer:

D = 108°

F = 180°

H = 252°

I = 288°


Explanation:

Every regular polygon with n sides can be divided into n  congruent triangles. The angle with vertex the center of the polygon will measure 360 : n degrees. This will also be the angle of rotation under which the polygon matches itself.

We are given a regular decagon, therefore:

n = 10

α = 360 : n = 36°


We consider that, if the decagon is not rotated, A' coincides with A and the rotation is towards the next letter of the alphabet. This means that after one rotation of 36° A' will coincide with B, after two rotations A' will coincide with C and so on.

A' will coincide with D after three rotations: 3 × 36° = 108°

A' will coincide with F after five rotations: 5 × 36° = 180°

A' will coincide with H after seven rotations: 7 × 36° = 252°

A' will coincide with I after eight  rotations: 8 × 36° = 288°
