Respuesta :

Answer:   Angle of rotation when ∠B mapped onto ∠F is 240°.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a regular hexagon all the interior angles are same and hence regular hexagon has six symmetrical shapes.

Also, we know that the sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon is 360°

Hence, angle of rotation for a hexagon is 360°÷6 = 60°.

Now, in moving from B to F in clockwise direction we have to take 4 rotations.

Hence, the angle of rotation when ∠B is mapped onto ∠F is 4×60°= 240°.
