Answer:
It is rotated by 72 degrees.
Step-by-step 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,
[tex]\frac{360}{60} = 6[/tex]
- As the polygon rotates every minute and it is rotated for 12 minutes,
[tex]12*6 = 72[/tex]
( 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.
