Algebra.Com's Answer #327723 by cleomenius(959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am not sure if I am interpreting this question correctly, but here is how I would approach it.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A regular n-gon with 30 sides would have a rotational symmetry at 12 degrees, a regualar n-gon with 18 sides would have rotational symetry at 20 degrees. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "It seems to me that the smalled n-gon that would have rotatinoal symetry at 12 and 20 degree rotational degree symetry would have to be a divisor of 12, 20 and 360 degrees, the largest would be 4, this would result in 90 faces and vertices on a regular n-gon, the only other two I believe would fit this criteria would be n-gons with 180 faces and 360 faces.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That would be the way I would interpret this question.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cleomenius. \n" ); document.write( " |
