Question 6 • Geometry

If an object maps onto itself after being rotated 180 degrees or less about a line, it has

Answer
A
reflectional symmetry.
B
rotational symmetry.
C
no axis of symmetry.
D
no plane of symmetry.

Explanation

A rotation turns an object around a line, called its axis of rotation. If the object looks unchanged after the turn, it has rotational symmetry. Here, the object maps onto itself after a rotation of 180 degrees or less, so the correct choice is rotational symmetry.
