Question

Task 2
Create a hexagon. Record the number of lines of symmetry you find. What is the order of rotational symmetry? Repeat the process with a triangle. Observe your results. Can you predict the number of lines of symmetry and the order of rotational symmetry that a 15-gon would have? What about a 100-gon?
Task 3
Polly says that a 150-gon looks almost like a circle, so a circle should have 150 lines of symmetry, an order of rotational symmetry of 150. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Task 2: A hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 6. A triangle has 3 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 3. A 15-gon would have 15 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 15. A 100-gon would have 100 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 100. Task 3:A circle has infinite lines of symmetry and infinite order of rotational symmetry, as it can be rotated by any angle and still look the same. Therefore, while a 150-gon may look similar to a circle, it does not have infinite symmetry like a circle does. So, I do not agree with Polly's statement.
