What is the least angle measure by which this figure can be rotated so that it maps onto itself?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

OpenStudy (will.h):

A 360 rotation always maps any figure to itself

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

but is the a number less than that the it can map on itself?

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

it says least number

OpenStudy (will.h):

45 degrees rotation can't be possible. 90 is not possible either. 180 degrees would map it in the opposing direction

OpenStudy (will.h):

Wait I'll check

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

ok

OpenStudy (will.h):

@phi @Mathmale is my answer right

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

@zepdrix @welshfella

OpenStudy (will.h):

It cannot be 45 nor 90 I guarantee that. It's mostly 360 but it won't hurt to check

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

yeah wont hurt

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

is 360 the smallest number or will 180 work?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yeah 360 is correct

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

ok so 360 is the smallest number for the shape to map on itself

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

OpenStudy (devonhoward15):

thanks

OpenStudy (will.h):

Thanks for checking Welsh
