Please help me with this question! : ) Thank you! Tell whether the figure has rotational symmetry. If so, give the angle of rotational symmetry and the order of the symmetry. (shape in a file attached below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here is the shape that goes along with the question. =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. Yes, the figure has rotational symmetry. The angle of rotational symmetry is 45°, and the order of the symmetry is 8. b. Yes, the figure has rotational symmetry. The angle of rotational symmetry is 180°, and the order of the symmetry is 2. c. Yes, the figure has rotational symmetry. The angle of rotational symmetry is 90°, and the order of the symmetry is 4. d. The figure has no rotational symmetry.

^^ Those are the options that I am given =) Thank you to anyone who can help! I really appreciate it <3

imagine, you rotate the figure slowly 360 degrees

Does it look exactly like that way it is looking now ? (at any point of rotation ?)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

NO. so it doesnt have a rotational symmetry.

Thank you! Makes sense the way you put it. Thank you for taking the time to make a visual representation of it.

As always, excellently helpful! Immensely grateful over here. =)
