Rotational symmetry refers to symmetry of the figure when it is rotated about a single point in the same plane. Lines of symmetry apply to reflections. You do not have lines of rotational symmetry.
A figure has rotational symmetry if you can turn it about a figure.
No, the letter Y does not have rotational symmetry. It cannot be rotated and still appear the same.
The heart does have both symmetries. it can be split through the middle and rotated 4 times to make rotational symmetry
Rotational symmetry is determining whether a shape has symmetry when it is rotated from the center. For example: if you have a star fish, it does have rotational symmetry because you can rotate the star fish 5 times and their still be symmetry. If the object has rotational symmetry, you then can determine the percentage and order of the ratational symmetry. The percentage is how much out of 100% the object is rotated to find symmetry. The order is how many times it is to be rotated before the object has returned to its origiinal position. Take the star fish example. It can be rotated 5 times (each turn having symmatry). The percentage of rotation would be 20%, and the order would be 5.
A nonrectangular parallelogram has rotational symmetry, but not line symmetry. Additionally, shapes such as the letters S, N, and Z can be rotated to show rotational symmetry, although they do not have line symmetry.
The rectangle's rotational symmetry is of order 2. A square's rotational symmetry is of order 4; the triangle has a symmetry of order 3. Rotational symmetry is the number of times a figure can be rotated and still look the same as the original figure.

Yes. Any even sided figure will have a rotational symmetry. Yes. If it is a regular shape such as a square, hexagon or octagon (equilateral and equiangular) then the rotational symmetry is the same as the number of sides. Rotational symmetry is basically if the shape is rotated, is it exactly the same as it was before. A hexagon can be rotated 6 times and still be the same without actually being in the the same postition, so a hexagon has a rotational symmetry of 6.
Rotational symmetry is the amount of symmetry you would have if you rotated the shape.
Rotational symmetry.
A figure has rotational symmetry if you can turn it about a figure.
The modern answer is that if the shape only fits once onto the original when rotated 360o it has no rotational symmetry. A right triangle only fits once when rotated 360o so it has no rotational symmetry.
No, the letter Y does not have rotational symmetry. It cannot be rotated and still appear the same.
something which can be rotated to fit on it self
The order of rotational symmetry of a equilateral triangle is three. However, the order of an isosceles triangle is one. So, the rotational symmetry depends on the specific type of triangle figure. However, all figures have at least one order. Rotational symmetry is associated with how a shape can be rotated and retains the same or similar appearance.
The heart does have both symmetries. it can be split through the middle and rotated 4 times to make rotational symmetry
