What is the order of rotational symmetry for the figure?
1 answer:
Answer:
Order of rotational symmetry is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of positions the object looks the same in a 360-degree rotation is known as order of symmetry.
In the given figure, we have 3 line bisecting each other at a point which is the center of the rotation.
Now, we have 6 segments, each segment have a triangle in clockwise direction. All triangles are congruent.
It means central angle divided in 6 equal parts.
It means after each 60 degrees we get the same figure.
Since, 6 times the positions of figure looks the same in a 360-degree rotation, therefore, the number of rotational symmetry for the figure is 6.

Remember that the formula for the circumference, , of a circle is:
In this case, we are not given the diameter. However, remember that the diameter is equivalent to two times the radius of a circle. Thus,
,
and we can say the circumference of our circle is:
The circumference of our circle is 50.24 units.
