Transcript text: Study the figure. If it has rotational symmetry, tell the angle of rotation.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the order of rotation
The figure has 5 identical petals arranged around a central point. This means it has rotational symmetry of order 5.
Step 2: Calculate the angle of rotation
A full rotation is 360 degrees. To find the smallest angle of rotation, divide 360 by the order of rotation (which is 5 in this case): 360 / 5 = 72 degrees.
