Yes, a regular pentagon has rotational symmetry. It can be rotated around its center by multiples of (72^\circ) (360° divided by 5) and still look the same. This means it has five distinct positions in which it can be rotated without appearing different. Thus, the regular pentagon exhibits rotational symmetry of order 5.

Does pentagon the shape have symmetry in it?

A general pentagon may have no symmetries at all. A regular pentagon has five symmetry axes - each one connecting a vertex with the middle of the edge opposite this vertex. A regular pentagon also has rotational symmetry - if you rotate it by any multiple of 72 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise you get a regular pentagon as well. Please also see the related link below.
