Well, honey, a square does have point symmetry. Each corner of the square is equidistant from the center, making it symmetrical when you rotate it 180 degrees. So, yes, a square can give you some symmetry fix if you need it.

What rotation symmetry does a square have?

The square has 4 sides and has rotational symmetry of order 4.


Does a rectangle or square have exactly 2 lines of symmetry?

Technically, a square is a rectangle with four lines of symmetry. A non-square rectangle has exactly two lines of symmetry: the vertical and the horizontal.


What is a shape with two lines of symmetry?

rhombus and rectangle (if they are not also a square). a square has 4 lines of symmetry


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.

How many lines of rotation of symmetry does a square have?

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.


Does a square have a plane of symmetry?

No. A square is a plane figure and conventionally for plane figures symmetry is considered in terms of rotation about a point or an axis (in the plane of the figure) but not a plane outside the plane of the square.

How many axes of symmetry does a paralllelogram have?

It depends on the type of parallelogram:The classic generic-looking parallelogram, having no right angles, and having adjacent sides of unequal length, has no lines of symmetry (only point symmetry about the point of intersection of the diagonals).Special types of parallelograms are as follows:A square has 4 lines of symmetry: horizontal, vertical, and one containing each diagonal.A non-square rhombus has two lines of symmetry: one containing each diagonal.A non-square rectangle has two lines of symmetry: horizontal and vertical.
