EzraYes, a kite does have rotational symmetry. A kite has rotational symmetry of order 2, meaning it can be rotated 180 degrees and still look the same. This is because a kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are congruent, which allows it to be rotated without changing its appearance.
Answer
No. If the shape has rotational symmetry, then it should be able to match itself when rotated a certain number of degrees that IS NOT 360 degrees.
Why?
Well, if we stop and think about it, all shapes can match themselves when being rotated 360 degrees (a full circle.) If 360 degrees was valid and qualified for rotational symmetry, then any shape would have rotational symmetry. Then this classification of rotational symmetry would have no real conclusion.
The only way a kite can match itself when rotating is if you rotate it 360 degrees. Therefore, it does not have rotational symmetry.
