What are the fractions of rotational symmetry?
Fractions of rotational symmetry refer to the divisions of a complete rotation (360 degrees) that result in identical appearances of an object when rotated. For example, a shape with rotational symmetry of order 3 will look the same after a rotation of 120 degrees (360°/3). Common fractions include 1/2 (180 degrees), 1/3 (120 degrees), and 1/4 (90 degrees). The order of symmetry indicates how many times the shape matches itself in one full rotation.
When a figure is turned less than 360 degrees around a center point and coincides with itself?
Rotational Symmetry.
How do you give the least angle measure that will rotate the figure itself?
It is 360 degrees divided by the order of rotational symmetry.
What quadrilaterals have a rotational symmetry of order 4?
A quadrilateral with a rotational symmetry of order 4 is one that can be rotated 90 degrees, 180 degrees,270 degrees, and 360 degrees onto itself. The most common examples of such quadrilaterals are the square and the rhombus. In these shapes, each rotation results in the same appearance, demonstrating their high degree of symmetry.
Does a regular pentagon have rational symmetry?
A regular pentagon has rotational symmetry but does not have rational symmetry. Rational symmetry refers to the property of a shape that can be divided into equal parts by rotations that are fractions of a full rotation (e.g., 1/2, 1/3). Since a regular pentagon can only be rotated by 72 degrees (1/5 of a full rotation) to map onto itself, it does not exhibit rational symmetry.
How many letters in the alphabet have rotational symmetry?
A figure has rotational symmetry when it can rotate onto itself in less than a full rotation.

What figure has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?
A figure that has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry is a figure that can be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same, but cannot be reflected across a line to create a mirror image of itself. An example of such a figure is a regular pentagon, which has rotational symmetry of 72 degrees but does not have any lines of symmetry. This means that if you rotate a regular pentagon by 72 degrees, it will look the same, but you cannot reflect it across any line to create a mirror image.
What is an angle of symmetry?
The least angle at which the figure may be rotated to coincide with itself is the angle of symmetry.
Which rotation will carry a regular hexagon onto itself?
A regular hexagon can be carried onto itself by rotations of 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, and 300 degrees around its center. These rotations correspond to the multiples of 60 degrees, which are the angles formed by the vertices of the hexagon. Additionally, a 0-degree rotation (no rotation) also carries the hexagon onto itself.
When a figure rotates onto itself in less than a full turn?
It has rotational symmetry.
What kind of symmetry does a star have?
a starfish has a rotational symmetry because it rotates back to itself 90 degrees which is 1/4 of a turn.
What is linear symetry?
the no. of times the figure fits into itself is called order of rotation.
A figure is transformed in the plane such that no point maps to itself. What type of transformation?
It could be a reflection with the mirror line outside the figure; it could be a rotation with the centre of rotation outside the figure; or it could be a translation.
