Does a hexagon have rotational symmetry?
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.
Does kite have rotational symmetry?
Oh, what a happy little question! A kite does indeed have rotational symmetry. Just like how you can turn a kite and it still looks the same, it has rotational symmetry. Keep exploring and creating, my friend!
Which shape has line of symmetry but not rotational symmetry?
There are infinitely many such shapes:Take any odd-sided regular polygonMove one vertex away from the side opposite it in a perpendicular direction any distance you like.The resulting shape has one line of symmetry (from the vertex moved to the centre of the opposite side) and no rotational symmetry.Done to an equilateral triangle (a regular "3-agon") this creates an isosceles triangle.
Order of rotational symmetry on an oval?
Oh, dude, an oval has an infinite number of lines of symmetry, so technically it has infinite rotational symmetry. But like, who's really gonna sit there and rotate an oval forever just to prove a point, right? So, yeah, infinite rotational symmetry for the win!
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.
