Can you explain how it's not point?

OpenStudy (perl):

Let's define point symmetry

OpenStudy (perl):

point symmetry is symmetry about a point, I believe it is also called rotational symmetry. Can you rotate H so that it coincides with itself , by an angle less than 360 degrees. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. You can't. Therefore it's only line

OpenStudy (perl):

you can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dang it. How can you? Is it by dragging the ends to another end?

OpenStudy (perl):

OpenStudy (perl):

cut out the letter H with a piece of paper, and rotate it by hand. using the center as the point of symmetry
