If you can rotate (or turn) a figure around a center point by fewer than 360° and the figure appears unchanged, then the figure has rotation symmetry. The point around which you rotate is called the center of rotation, and the smallest angle you need to turn is called the angle of rotation.

This figure has rotation symmetry of 72°, and the center of rotation is the center of the figure:

What is the smallest angle of rotatinal symmetry?

None. You can rotate a circle by the smallest possible angle that you can think of and it will be an angle of symmetry. And then you can halve that angle of rotation and still have rotational symmetry. And you can halve that angle ...

How do you know if a figure has rotational symmetry?

A figure has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated by a certain angle (less than 360 degrees) and still looks the same. The number of times you can rotate the figure and have it look the same determines the order of rotational symmetry - a square has rotational symmetry of order 4, for example.


What figure has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?

A figure that has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry is a figure that can be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same, but cannot be reflected across a line to create a mirror image of itself. An example of such a figure is a regular pentagon, which has rotational symmetry of 72 degrees but does not have any lines of symmetry. This means that if you rotate a regular pentagon by 72 degrees, it will look the same, but you cannot reflect it across any line to create a mirror image.

Does a paralleogram have rotational symmetry?

No, a parallelogram does not have rotational symmetry because it cannot be rotated onto itself. Rotational symmetry requires an object to look the same after being rotated by a certain angle.

If a trapezoid has rotational symmetry what is the angle of rotation?

A "pure" trapezoid (a pair of parallel sides and two random sides) does not have rotational symmetry. If it is a parallelogram then it has a 180 degree symmetry. And if the paralloelogram happens to be a square, you have 90 deg symmetry.


Can you have line of symmetry but not rotational symmetry?

Yes, it is possible to have a shape that has a line of symmetry but does not have rotational symmetry. An example is the letter "K", which has a vertical line of symmetry but cannot be rotated to match its original orientation.
