What is the order of rotational symmetry for a regular hexagon?

∙ 11y ago
The order of rotational symmetry for a shape is the number of times that it can be rotated so that it appears the same without rotation (e.g. if you rotate an equilateral triangle 60o clockwise it looks the same).
For regular polygons, the order of rotational symmetry for the shape is the number of sides that it has. A hexagon has 6 sides so has order of rotational symmetry 6.

What regular polygons have rotational symmetry?
All of them have rotational symmetry because all the sides and angles have to be the same in order for the polygon to be a regular polygon
What shape has a rotational symmetry of order 1?
none shapes have 1 rotational symmetry because in rotational symmetry one is none
What is the order of rotational symmetry of the star?
6 i think.....
Order of rotational symmetry on an oval?
I think it has 2
What shape has rotational symmetry order 2?
A rectangle
Order of rotational symmetry of regular hexagon?
Six.
How many symmetry lines are there in a hexagon?
A regular hexagon has 6 rotational symmetries (rotational symmetry of order six) and 6 reflective symmetries (six lines of symmetry).
What is Hexagram rotational symmetry order?
The regular hexagon's rotational symmetry order is six. This means that the hexagon can be turned 360 degrees and look the same six times. A hexagon is a six-sided figure with six lines of symmetry.
What is the order of rotational symmetry in hexagon?
6
How many lines of symmetry does a hexagon?
A hexagon need not have any lines of symmetry. Or, it can have just one line of symmetry. A regular hexagon has six lines of symmetry, including three along the lines bisecting the angles and three along the lines formed by bisecting the sides. A regular hexagon has a rotational order of 6.
What is the rotational symmetry of a regular nonagon?
A regular nonagon with 9 sides has a rotational symmetry of 9.
What is the order of rotational symmetry an octagon?
If it is a regular octagon then it has rotational symmetry to the order of 8
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.

Do all figures with rotational symmetry also have reflection symmetry?
No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.No.For example, a hexagon with equal angles and sides of lengths a,b,a,b,a,b has rotational symmetry of order 3, but it has no reflection symmetry.
