Answer:

Image result for A regular hexagon is rotated about its center. Which degree measure will carry the regular hexagon onto itself ?

There are 6 angles between neighbor vertices, they all are equal and their sum is 360°

When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated through a point.

The degree measure that will carry the regular hexagon onto itself is 60 degrees

The angle at the center of a regular hexagon is:

[tex]\mathbf{\theta = 360^o}[/tex]

The number of sides of a regular hexagon is:

[tex]\mathbf{n = 6}[/tex]

So, the degree measure that carries the hexagon onto itself is:

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = \frac{\theta}{n}}[/tex]

Substitute known values

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = \frac{360^o}{6}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 60^o}[/tex]

Hence, the degree measure that carries the hexagon onto itself is: 60
