OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

I think A?

OpenStudy (nikato):

close. you can rotate the figure 90 to match original figure

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

Ok, so B?

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

umm i dont think so

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

one rotation is 360 degrees

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

look it up

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

I understand that one rotation is 360 degrees

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

so if it does a rotaion and it looks the exact same then it has rotational symetry

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

but i might be wrong

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

Don't all shapes look the same after one rotation

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

OMG

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I agree with @nikato but for some reason 90 degrees isn't listed

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

...............

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

i feel stupid

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

ii shouldnt be helping people

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

@fantageplayer haha I'm pretty sure its B because 90 degrees falls under less than 180

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

i will go educate myself untill i am worthy then i shall come back to this website

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

fairwell

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

It's ok everyone messes up its all good

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

WAIT

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

a has to be correct

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

it says 360 or less

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

wait im still wrong

OpenStudy (fantageplayer):

fairwell oncemore

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

But if it rotates over 180 it won't be symmetrical

OpenStudy (nikato):

it can be A or B the figure will still look the same if you rotate it 90, 270, or 360

OpenStudy (brooklynsshaw):

Ok thanks

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this problem is just badly worded A is true but you can rotate any figure 360 degrees to make it match up with itself. The figure wouldn't have to have rotational symmetry at all. So while choice A is true, I wouldn't go with it I'd go with choice B because if you can rotate a figure 180 degrees and have it match up with itself, then it has rotational symmetry
