Rotational Symmetry

 
11.6  Rotational Symmetry
 
  • The shape or image is rotated in less than \(360^{\circ}\) at a fixed point.
  • Its shape will remain the same.
 
Order of rotational symmetry of an object:
 
  • The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times a shape moves to return to its original shape in a complete rotation.
  • The order of rotational symmetry is equal to the number of axes of symmetry of an object.
