Exercise 123 Page 304

Practice makes perfect
a An equilateral triangle has three congruent angles, each of them being 60^(∘).

However, we can also have triangles where only one angle is 60^(∘) and the others are something else.

Therefore, the conjecture is false.

b When calculating the area of a parallelogram you multiply its base and height. However, there are more shapes than parallelograms — for example, triangles and trapezoids. These do not follow this formula.

Therefore, the conjecture is false.

c If you rotate something 360^(∘) it ends up where it started. Let's show this with an arbitrary polygon.


Therefore, a shape can have any look and will have a 360^(∘) rotation symmetry, and the conjecture is true.
