Almost all flags are rectangular and so they cannot have rotational symmetry of an order greater than 2. The Union Jack is symmetrical after a 180 degree rotation and so has a symmetry of order 2.
However, the flag is not symmetrical under reflection. This is because, although St Andrew's Cross (white) is symmetrically placed, St Patrick's Cross (red) is offset.

∙ 8y agoI am unaware of a British flag, but the Union Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has a rotational symmetry of 2.

Yes, the flag can map onto itself with a rotation that is less than 360°.

sorry i dont know thats why im asking
How much lines of symmetry does a square have?
a square has 4 lines of symmetry.
How much lines of symmetry does a hexagon have?
A regular hexagon has six lines of symmetry. Lines of symmetry are imaginary lines where you can fold a figure or image and both halves are identical matches.
How many lines of symmetry does a butterfly has?
One. With most butterflies, their left side is the exact opposite of their right side.
How much is 27000 British pennies?

How much rotational symmetry does an octagon have?
It has 8lines of rotational symmetry
How much rotational symmetry does triangle have?
It depends on the type of triangle. A scalene triangle (no equal sides) has no rotational symmetry. An isosceles triangle (2 equal sides) has rotational symmetry order 2. An equilateral triangle (3 equal sides) has rotational symmetry order 3. The order of rotational symmetry is how many time a shape will fit over itself during one complete rotation.

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.
How many lines of rotational symmetry does a circle have?
infinite! as much as you rotate it , it will be exactly the same arent circles cool ? (:
How many lines of symmetry does the Trinidad flag has?
It has one and only one line of symmetry!!
When would you use rotation symmetry in life?
It could be used in the packaging industry, to mimise on cardboard waste for example, they could see how much rotational symmetry the net has and it might help them to find a way to tessalate the nets. This is only a educated guess and not a define answer.

How much lines of symmetry does a right angle have?
A right angle has one line of symmetry.
