Why 5-fold rotational symmetry is not possible in cube?

A cube has 3-fold rotational symmetry, meaning it can be rotated by 120 degrees and still look the same. It does not have 5-fold rotational symmetry because the cube's faces are not oriented in a way that allows for that type of symmetry. The angles between the faces do not align with the requirements for 5-fold rotational symmetry.


Why does a regular pentagon have a 5 fold rotational symmetry?

This is a little bit like asking why a square has four sides. A regular pentagon is defined in such a way as to require that it has 5-fold rotational symmetry.


What are the degrees of a Symmetry?

A two-fold symmetry has a 360 degrees rotation. A three-fold rotational symmetry, on the other hand, has 120 degrees, and on a horizontal axis, a symmetry has 180 degrees.


A shape which has at least 1 line of symmetry?

Symmetry is a shape, object or drawing that on both sides are exactly the same! So a square, rectangle, circle, diamond, and more.When you draw something like a square cut it out and see how many times you can fold it. If you can fold it one time that fold represents a line of symmetry! A heart ❤️ has one line of symmetry. If you can not fold it with equal parts on both sides then it does not have a line of symmetry.


What is four fold symmetry?

It means 4 lines of symmetry as for example a square has 4 lines of symmetry


What type of symmetry does a two fold line have?

It has rotational symmetry of order 2.


Is it possible for a pentagon to have three lines of symmetry?

No, it can only have 0, 1 or 5 lines of symmetry.
