actually first of all is #1 true or false?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
false
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where do you get that definition? the definition of rotational symmetry?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
An object has rotational symmetry if there is a center point around which the object is turned (rotated) a certain number of degrees and the object looks the same. The number of positions in which the object looks exactly the same is called the order of the symmetry.

lol wut? why u say that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not good at math.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so to me #1 is false, so i agree with you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actually nvm i think its true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
based on the assumption that #1 is true, what do you think #2, #3, and #4 are?

true, false, true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct, and how many degrees would you have to rotate a rectangle to have it map onto itself?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
assuming the rectangle has different length and width
OpenStudy (anonymous):
180.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i believe

correct and what about an octagon?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it can.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how many degrees until it maps onto itself?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
180
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its less

so true?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is true, as you said above, but im just trying to see if you understand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just making sure before i turn it in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well good luck leave question open maybe someone smarter can help :)
