Question
Answer the following questions to summarize the rotations that carry a regular pentagon onto itself. (4 points)
A regular pentagon can make 360 turns onto itself before coming around full circle. Each turn would be a multiple of 72 degrees.
Question 2
a. What are the degrees of the turns that will allow it to turn on itself?
b. Since a regular pentagon can make turns less than 360 degrees onto itself, it has what kind of symmetry?

a. The degrees of the turns that will allow a regular pentagon to turn onto itself are 0 degrees (no turn), 72 degrees (one turn), 144 degrees (two turns), 216 degrees (three turns), and 288 degrees (four turns).
b. Since a regular pentagon can make turns less than 360 degrees and still look the same, it has rotational symmetry.
