Describe the different types of symmentery?

The different types of symmetry are rotational symmetry whereby the various object parts are related by rotation angles, and reflectional symmetry where halves of the object form the mirror images.


How many lines of symetry does an airplane have?

None. For a 3-dimensional object, a line of symmetry implies rotational symmetry and an aircraft has no line of rotational symmetry.


What are rotational symmetry?

Rotational symmetry is determining whether a shape has symmetry when it is rotated from the center. For example: if you have a star fish, it does have rotational symmetry because you can rotate the star fish 5 times and their still be symmetry. If the object has rotational symmetry, you then can determine the percentage and order of the ratational symmetry. The percentage is how much out of 100% the object is rotated to find symmetry. The order is how many times it is to be rotated before the object has returned to its origiinal position. Take the star fish example. It can be rotated 5 times (each turn having symmatry). The percentage of rotation would be 20%, and the order would be 5.


What object has an 180 degree rotational symmetry?

Anything that is symmetrical about its horizontal centreline


What is rotational symmetry of alphabet?

The rotational symmetry of a plane object is the number of times it will look exactly like its original shape when you rotate it through 360 degrees in its plane. A whole alphabet has no rotational symmetry but some letters in an alphabet may have rotational symmetry. The number of symmetries depends on the alphabet, whether the letters are in upper or lower case as well as the font used.
