A regular polygon first maps directly onto itself after rotating 20 degrees. How many sides does the polygon have?

Answer
A
18
B
12
C

Explanation

A regular polygon maps onto itself at each rotation of 360° divided by its number of sides. If the smallest such rotation is 20°, then the number of sides is 360 ÷ 20 = 18. So the polygon has 18 sides, choice A.
