How do you find the smallest angle of rotational symmetry for a figure?
If you can rotate (or turn) a figure around a center point by fewer than 360° and the figure appears unchanged, then the figure has rotation symmetry. The point around which you rotate is called the center of rotation, and the smallest angle you need to turn is called the angle of rotation. This figure has rotation symmetry of 72°, and the center of rotation is the center of the figure:
What do you call it when you turn a figure?
Rotation.
What a example of rotation?
A rotation turns a shape through an angle at a fixed point as for example if you turn around backwards that will be a rotation of 180 degrees.
What is a rotation of symmetry?
Sometimes called rotation symmetry, or symmetry of rotation. If you have an object that can be turned through a certain angle (like rotating a cube through 90o) and then it looks identical, then that object has a certain symmetry under rotation. If you can turn it through any angle, like a cylinder, then it has rotation (or rotational) symmetry.
How do you turn the verb g-l-e-a-n into a geometric figure?

How many right angles in a full rotation?
A full rotation = 360°; a right angle = 90° → there are 360° ÷ 90° = 4 right angles in a full turn.
What does rotate mean in maths?
A rotation turns a shape through an angle around a fixed point usually on the Cartesian plane
In geometry What figure can be turned less than 360 degrees?
It is an angle that has a turn of less than 360 degrees which is a full turn.
What is the movement of a figure in a plane?
Transformations can be Translations--slide Reflections--flip Rotation--turn Dilation--either bigger or smaller
How does rotation work?
Rotation is when you turn an object.
What is the angle of rotation of a star?
Short answer: 72 degrees Longer answer: To rotate a star until it looks the same you need to make 1/5 of a complete 360 degree turn (since a star has 5 points). Sice 1/5 X 360 = 72, the answer is 72 degree angle rotation.
What are synonyms of rotation?
