if a 12 sided regular polygon rotates about its center at which angles of rotation will the image of the polygon coincide with the preimage?

darkknight:

Where is the preimage?

shalaya:

there's no preimage...it's a question that is on y test, but there is no picture.

darkknight:

There should be a preimage, otherwise how are u supposed to do it. Is this for a test?

shalaya:

Yes its for a test that is infront of me; its getting me frustrated.

darkknight:

If it is for a test I can't help you. Sorry :( Also the problem is unsolvable without the preimage anyways

shalaya:

its fine; ill figure it out.; thanks for your help anyways.

darkknight:

np

shalaya:

i found the answer; That is 360/12 = 30 degrees (the outside angle). If it rotated thus 12 times, it would have made one complete rotation

darkknight:

Thats nice. I still don't know how this is solvable without the preimage. Maybe not posted on the test?
