Symmetry

Question 6 • (A. Costello)WCA 5324 Geometry 1st Nine Weeks 26-27

Which figure has an order 3 rotational symmetry?

Answer
A
right triangle
B
equilateral triangle
C
regular hexagon
D
right trapezoid

Explanation

An equilateral triangle matches itself 3 times during a full 360° rotation: at 0°, 120°, and 240°. That gives it rotational symmetry of order 3. A regular hexagon has rotational symmetry of order 6, not order 3.
