- a regular polygon has rotational symmetry with an order of 5 and a magnitude of 72°. what figure?
Step1: Recall rotational symmetry formula
For a regular polygon, the magnitude of rotational symmetry (angle of rotation) $\theta$ is given by $\theta=\frac{360^\circ}{n}$, where $n$ is the number of sides (and also the order of rotational symmetry).
Step2: Use given order to find sides
Given order of rotational symmetry is 5, so $n = 5$. A regular polygon with 5 sides is a pentagon. Also, check the angle: $\frac{360^\circ}{5}=72^\circ$, which matches the given magnitude.
