Symmetry Rotation
1. **State the order of rotation and angle of rotation for each figure:**
- The order of rotation is the number of times a figure maps onto itself during a full 360° rotation.
- The angle of rotation is calculated by dividing 360° by the order of rotation: $$\text{Angle of rotation} = \frac{360^\circ}{\text{Order of rotation}}$$
A (rectangle): Order = 2 (rotates onto itself twice in 360°)
Angle = $$\frac{360^\circ}{2} = 180^\circ$$
B (square): Order = 4
Angle = $$\frac{360^\circ}{4} = 90^\circ$$
C (arrow pointing up): Order = 1 (only maps onto itself at 360°)
Angle = $$360^\circ$$
D (plus sign): Order = 4
Angle = $$90^\circ$$
E (circle with a pie slice removed): Order = 1
Angle = $$360^\circ$$
F (eight arrows evenly spaced): Order = 8
Angle = $$\frac{360^\circ}{8} = 45^\circ$$
G (downward triangle): Order = 3
Angle = $$\frac{360^\circ}{3} = 120^\circ$$
H (connected two circles): Order = 1
Angle = $$360^\circ$$
I (capital letter A): Order = 1
Angle = $$360^\circ$$
J (three lines joined at center 120° apart): Order = 3
Angle = $$120^\circ$$
2. **Lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry for given figures:**
- Flower with 4 petals: Lines of symmetry = 4 (each petal axis), rotational symmetry order = 4
- Circle with diagonal slash: Lines of symmetry = 1 (the slash line), rotational symmetry order = 1
- 5-pointed star: Lines of symmetry = 5, rotational symmetry order = 5
- Shape with alternating black and white segments (striped circle): Lines of symmetry = depends on segments, assume 2 for simplicity, rotational symmetry order = 2
- Circle with 3 small attached shapes evenly spaced: Lines of symmetry = 3, rotational symmetry order = 3
- Hexagon divided into 6 triangular segments with alternating shading: Lines of symmetry = 6, rotational symmetry order = 6
3. **Draw figures with given lines of symmetry:**
- a) Line of symmetry = 8: An octagon or 8-petal flower
- b) One diagonal line of symmetry: A right triangle or kite shape
- c) Two diagonal lines of symmetry: A square or rectangle with diagonals
- d) Line of symmetry = 10: A decagon or 10-petal flower
4. **Angle of rotation for order 5 rotational symmetry:**
$$\text{Angle} = \frac{360^\circ}{5} = 72^\circ$$
5. **Order of rotational symmetry for angle 60°:**
$$\text{Order} = \frac{360^\circ}{60^\circ} = 6$$
