1 True or False: A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 degrees or less. 2 True or False: A rectangle has rotational symmetry. 3 True or False: A trapezoid has rotational symmetry. 4 True or False: An octagon has rotational symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (marvin456):

false bc its 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true because its 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

draw a rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually first of all is #1 true or false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where do you get that definition? the definition of rotational symmetry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An object has rotational symmetry if there is a center point around which the object is turned (rotated) a certain number of degrees and the object looks the same. The number of positions in which the object looks exactly the same is called the order of the symmetry.

im not very smart😂

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wut? why u say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not good at math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to me #1 is false, so i agree with you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually nvm i think its true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

based on the assumption that #1 is true, what do you think #2, #3, and #4 are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true, false, true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct, and how many degrees would you have to rotate a rectangle to have it map onto itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assuming the rectangle has different length and width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct and what about an octagon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many degrees until it maps onto itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its less

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is true, as you said above, but im just trying to see if you understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just making sure before i turn it in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well good luck leave question open maybe someone smarter can help :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i passed. thank you.
