If the smallest angle of rotation for a regular polygon is 18°, how many sides does polygon have?
a. 10
b. 12
c. 20
d. 24

Respuesta :

there are 360 degrees in a complete circle

360/18 = 20

 so the answer is C

Answer:

Hence, the number of sides of a regular polygon such that the smallest angle of rotation for a regular polygon is 18° is:

20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the smallest degree of rotation for a regular polygon is equal to the measure of it's internal angle.

" Regular polygons have a degree of rotational symmetry equal to 360 divided by the number of sides ".

Let this polygon has n sides.

That means:

[tex]\dfrac{360}{n}=18 \degree[/tex]

This means that:

[tex]n=\dfrac{360}{18}\\\\n=20[/tex]

Hence, the number of sides of a regular polygon such that the smallest angle of rotation for a regular polygon is 18° is:

20.
