Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

If we join the center of pentagon based at origin to the vertices,

Angle formed at the center of a regular polygon = [tex]\frac{360}{n}[/tex]

Where 'n' = number of sides of the polygon

Measure of angle 'a' = [tex]\frac{360}{5}[/tex]

                                  = 72°

If point A overlaps the point A',

Angle of rotation required = 2(a)°  

                                            = 2×72°

                                            = 144°

Therefore, point A should be rotated by 144° to overlap A'.

Option (C) will be the answer.
