What is the degree of rotational symmetry of a five point star?
50 degrees
How many lines of symmetry does a 5 sided star have?
five lines of symmetry :)
Why is it 5 fold symmetry not possible?
A regular pentagon or a 5-pointed star have rotational symmetry of order 5.
How many lines of symmetry in a 5 point star?
5
How many lines of symmetry does a 6 point star have?
Assuming it is regular, there should be 6 lines of symmetry, three running from a tip to the tip opposite it, and three through the points that the tips meet.
How many lines of symmetry does a four point star have?
it has five lines of symmetry
What is the degree of rotational symmetry of a five point star?
50 degrees
How many lines of symmetry does a 5 point star have?
A 5 point star has 5 lines of symmetry.
Does a 5 point star have rotational symmetry?
The star can be turned by 72°. Why 72°? The star has five points. To rotate it until it looks the same, you need to make 1 / 5 of a complete 360° turn. Since 1/5 * 360° = 72°, this is a 72° angle rotation. So yes, a five point star has rotational symmetry. :D
Does a star have a point of symmetry?
yes
How many lines of symmetry does a 5 sided star have?
five lines of symmetry :)
How many line of symmetry does a star have?
five do the math But only if it is a 5-pointed star, not a 6-pointed star (like the star of David, for example). So doing the math requires counting the number of points in the star before getting to the put downs!
How do you sketch a figure with rotational symmetry but no line symmetry?
When a shape is rotated about its centre, if it comes to rest in a position and looks exactly like the original, then it has rotational symmetry. A shape like an equilateral triangle would therefore have an order of rotational symmetry of 3. The general rule for a regular polygon (shapes such as pentagons, heptagons, octagons etc. is, that the number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry, which is also the same as the rotational symmetry order). This means that a regular hexagon has 6 sides, 6 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 6. Following from this, then a square, which is a regular polygon, has 4 sides, 4 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 4. If a shape has rotational symmetry, it must have either line symmetry or point symmetry or both. For example, a five pointed star has 5 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 5, but does not have point symmetry. A parallelogram has no line of symmetry, but has rotational symmetry of order 2 and also point symmetry. Only a shape which has line symmetry or point symmetry can have rotational symmetry. When there is point symmetry and also rotational symmetry, the order of the latter is even. For example, the letter 'S' has rotational symmetry of order 2, the regular hexagon of order 6. On this basis, we would suggest that the letter 'F' does not have a rotational symmetry order as it does not have either line symmetry or point symmetry. It doesn't have a centre around which you could rotate it. Sounds weird, but given the definitions, we think this is the case.
