Question
for questions 19-22, use the figure below. 19. what is the name of the shape on the left? 20. how many lines of symmetry are there on the shape to the left? 21. list all of the degrees of rotational symmetry for the shape to the left. 22. how many diagonals does the regular polygon have? for questions 23-26 draw the following 23. draw all lines of symmetry on the square. 24. draw all the diagonals on the square. 25. draw all lines of symmetry on the parallelogram. 26. draw all diagonals on the parallelogram.
Question 19:
Step1: Identify the shape
The figure is a regular octagon, which has 8 equal sides and 8 equal angles.
Step1: Recall line symmetry in regular octagon
A regular \( n \)-sided polygon has \( n \) lines of symmetry. For an octagon, \( n = 8 \). So it has 8 lines of symmetry (4 through opposite vertices, 4 through mid - points of opposite sides).
Step1: Recall rotational symmetry formula
The formula for the angle of rotational symmetry of a regular \( n \)-sided polygon is \( \theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{n} \). For a regular octagon, \( n = 8 \), so \( \theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{8} = 45^{\circ} \).
Step2: List all rotational symmetries
The rotational symmetries are the multiples of \( 45^{\circ} \) that are less than \( 360^{\circ} \). So the angles are \( 45^{\circ},90^{\circ},135^{\circ},180^{\circ},225^{\circ},270^{\circ},315^{\circ} \).
