While studying about shapes and figures, we come across with symmetric and asymmetric images. Symmetric shapes have a line on both sides of which the figure is similar. This line is known as line of symmetry. We can say that figure on the one side of the line of symmetry is the mirror image of another. There are three types of symmetry which are listed below -
1) Reflection Symmetry
2) Point Symmetry
A rotational symmetry is identified as an angle, while we turn a figure in its middle point. The rotational symmetry is in which the point is moved about the objects and fit on itself more than once in 360 degrees. Learn shapes are moving around the point is called the centre of rotation. The rotational symmetry has more than one order of rotational symmetry the objects can fit itself within 360 degrees. If a shape finds two same matches in one rotation, then it is known as the rotational symmetry of order 2. Similarly, if the object possesses three same matches in one complete rotation, then it is said to have rotational symmetry of order 3, and so on.
