Answer:

A regular polygon first maps directly onto itself after rotating 20 degrees has 18 sides

Explanation:

Given:

Angle rotated=20 degrees

To find:

Number of sides the polygon has=?

Solution:


\text { The number of sides the polygon have }=\frac{\text { total angle }}{\text { angle rotated }}


\text { We know that the total angle of polygon }=360^(\circ)


\text { The number of sides the polygon have }=(360^(\circ))/(20^(\circ))


\text { The number of sides the polygon have }=18\\

RESULT:

Hence the number of sides the polygon has =18
