Question

How many rotation symmetries does a five-pointed star have? Please show work!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

4 rotational symmetries for 5 pointed star.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : How many rotation symmetries does a five-pointed star have?

Solution :

The number of times a shape can be rotated and look the same within one full 360° rotation is called the order of the rotational symmetry, and the angle at which it can be rotated to look the same is called the angle of rotation.

Yes, a 5-point star has rotational symmetry.

A 5-point star is a two-dimensional polygon in the shape of a star with five points, or tips.

The number of rotation is given by,

$n=\frac{360}{5}$

$n=72^\circ$

Therefore, 4 rotational symmetries for 5 pointed star.

Answer 2

What do you mean "how many"? Like how many different rotations can you do and it'll be the same or just symmetries in general?
