Answer:
:
(a) Answer: 1 Mark
Example along with diagram: 1 Mark
(b) Definition: 1 Mark
(c) Answer: 1 Mark
(a) If it happens for 120∘, it will also happen for multiples of 120∘, such as 240∘ and 360∘.
The exampleis an equilateral triangle.
(b)The number of position in which the object looks exactly the same is called the order of rotational symmetry.
(c)The order of rotational symmetry of a semicircle is 1.
