To tabulate the order of symmetry for each

Explanation of Solution
Given:
The polygons are equilateral triangle, square, regular pentagon and regular hexagon.
Calculation:
The following table shows the order of symmetry for each polygon.
Polygon | Order of symmetry |
Equilateral triangle | 3 |
Square | 4 |
Regular pentagon | 5 |
Regular Hexagon | 6 |

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward
