Rotational symmetry maintains all characteristics of a shape when it is rotated about a central point through a specific angle. This means that the shape looks the same at certain intervals of rotation, such as 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or any other defined angle, depending on the symmetry order. For example, a square has rotational symmetry of 90 degrees, as it appears unchanged when rotated by that angle. This property is crucial in various fields, including art, architecture, and nature.

No. Objects can have reflective symmetry but no rotational symmetry.
This is the definition of "rotational symmetry", or if the statement is true for any number of degrees of rotation it is also "circular symmetry.".
Not exactly. Rotational symmetry means that a shape will look the same if the object is rotated around some axis, by ANY angle.There are no specific requirements as to where the axis must be.
The quality a design has if it maintains all characteristics when rotated about an axis lying in its plane is called B) Rotational symmetry. This means that the design looks the same after a certain degree of rotation around that axis. Linear symmetry, on the other hand, involves reflection across a line, while translational symmetry refers to a design being invariant under translation.

Reflectional symmetry
Yes. An object with rotational symmetry is one that looks the same after a certain amount of rotation.
