Question

symmetry quick check
what is the smallest degree measure for a regular hexagon to rotate onto itself? (1 point)
40°
90°
30°
60°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation formula

For a regular polygon with \(n\) sides, the smallest angle of rotation \(\theta\) that maps the polygon onto itself is given by \(\theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{n}\).

Step2: Identify \(n\) for a hexagon

A hexagon has \(n = 6\) sides.

Step3: Calculate the angle

\(\theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{6}=60^{\circ}\)

Answer:

60°
