Determine the order of rotational symmetry of an object

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.
