A regular 40 sided polygon is rotated with its center of rotation at its center. what is the smallest degree of rotation needed to map the polygon back onto itself?

At every 9 degree turn it will look the same then after 40 turns it will map back on itself.

What is the minimum number of degrees that a regular hexagon cannot be rotated before it carries onto itself?
The smallest possible value above 0 degrees.
What angle of rotation does the letter S have?
0, the angle is rotated about the origion
How do you rotate a figure 180 degrees counterclockwise around the origin?
For every point A = (x,y) in your figure, a 180 degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin will result in a point A' = (x', y') where: x' = x * cos(180) - y * sin(180) y' = x * sin(180) + y * cos(180) Happy-fun time fact: This is equivalent to using a rotation matrix from Linear Algebra! Because a rotation is an isometry, you only have to rotate each vertex of a polygon, and then connect the respective rotated vertices to get the rotated polygon. You can rotate a closed curve as well, but you must figure out a way to rotate the infinite number of points in the curve. We are able to do this with straight lines above due to the property of isometries, which preserves distances between points.
Is a merge sign an irregular or regular polygon?
It depends on the merge sign. Some merge signs, for example, have ROUNDED corners. These would NOT be a regular polygon because a regular polygon has straight angles and vertexes. However, other kinds of merge signs have STRAIGHT angles and corners, like a rotated square. Therefore, these merge signs WOULD be regular polygons.
