A regular pentagon (5 sides) is rotated about its center. By which angle could the pentagon be rotated so that it is mapped onto itself? A
45 degrees

B
60 degrees

C
72 degrees

D
90 degrees

Your answer is C, 72 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon is a polygon with 5 vertices. A polygon can be rotated 360 degrees in total. Since this shape has 5 vertices, it can be rotated on every vertex to get the same figure, or in other words, it being mapped onto itself. Therefore, 360 degrees divided by 5 vertices is 72 degrees.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
