Answer:

It is rotated by 72 degrees.

Explanation:

  • Since it is a regular polygon,

when u connect all the corners of it to the middle of the polygon, they will meet at a point i.e, CENTER.

  • The sum of the angles subtended by all the sided at the center will be 360 degrees.
  • As there are 60 sides, the angle subtended by each side at the center will be 6 degrees.

Because,


(360)/(60) = 6

  • As the polygon rotates every minute and it is rotated for 12 minutes,


12*6 = 72

( For every minute, it will be rotated by 6 degrees.

so, for 12 minutes it should be rotated by 12 times 6 ( 12*6) = 72 degrees)

  • So, after 12 minutes it will be rotated by 72 degrees.
