The regular pentagon is the polygon that will carry itself onto itself when rotated by 72 degrees. This is because a pentagon has five equal sides and angles, and a rotation of 72 degrees corresponds to one-fifth of a complete turn (360 degrees). Each rotation by this angle aligns one vertex with the position of the next vertex, maintaining the polygon's symmetry.
The regular octagon is the polygon that has a minimum rotation of 45 degrees to carry the polygon onto itself. An octagon has 8 sides, and when rotated by 360 degrees, it can be divided into 8 equal parts, resulting in a 45-degree rotation for each part. Thus, a rotation of 45 degrees maps the octagon onto itself.
No, it is not possible.
A regular hexagon can be rotated onto itself by multiples of 60 degrees. Specifically, the rotations that will carry the hexagon onto itself are 0 degrees, 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, and 300 degrees. These rotations correspond to the hexagon's vertices, allowing it to align perfectly with its original position.
Yes. :] Yes. :]
A square can be rotated onto itself at specific angles of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees. This means it has four positions of symmetry through rotation. Therefore, a square can be rotated by any multiple of 90 degrees to map onto itself.
360/6 = 60 degrees.
No, it is not possible.
The smallest possible value above 0 degrees.
Yes. :] Yes. :]
At every 9 degree turn it will look the same then after 40 turns it will map back on itself.

The minimum number of degrees that an equilateral triangle can be rotated before it carries onto itself is 60 degrees bout its vertical axis.
It can be used only if the measure of its interior angle is a factor of 360 degrees.
90 degrees
90 degrees
It will be 180 degrees
