A regular decagon is rotated n degrees about its center, carrying the decagon onto itself. The value of n could be:
1. 10 degrees
2. 150 degrees
3. 225 degrees
4. 252 degrees

Answer:

252°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Decagon

Required

Determine the value of n

A Decagon has 10 sides and a complete rotation takes 360°

First, we need to calculate the angle of each rotation as follows.

Each Rotation = ⅒ * 360°

Each Rotation = 360°

Next, we determine the possible values of n.

The statement is represented as "possible values of n" because n can assume infinite number of values.

However, n must be a multiple of 36

From the list of given options.

10, 150 and 225 are not multiples of 36

Only 252 happens to be a multiple of 36 from the list of given options.

Hence, option D answers the question [base on the given options]

A decagon is a ten-sided polygon.

The value of n could be 252 degree.

Since, A Decagon has 10 sides

The angle made in one complete rotation is 360 degree.

Now find angle made in each rotation is,

                          [tex]=\frac{360}{10}=36degree[/tex]

Now, we have to find possible values of n.

Since, n must be a multiple of 36

Apply hit and trial from given option.

We observe that from given options, only 252 degree is multiple of 36.

Therefore, value of n could be 252 degree.

Hence, option 4  is correct.
