Can someone help me figure out if this figure has rotational symmetry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And if it does, what is the angle of rotation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the choices: yes; 40° yes; 60° yes; 120° no

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you turn it so it matches the original picture? How much of a turn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the original picture. I'm having trouble figuring it out.

OpenStudy (phi):

Yes, now imagine turning it. How far do you turn it to get it to match the original picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40°?

OpenStudy (phi):

Ignore the degrees for the moment. Sketch (a simplified drawing) on a piece of paper, and turn it clockwise till it matches. How far do you turn it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would have to turn it four times for it match the original picture.

OpenStudy (phi):

Let's do a simple example. |dw:1339164292421:dw|
