Question 1:

Which of the following figures have rotational symmetry of order more than 1:

Answer:

Rotational symmetry of order more than 1 are (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) because in these

figures, a complete turn, more than 1 number of times, an object looks exactly the same.

Question 2:

Give the order the rotational symmetry for each figure:

Answer:

Exercise 14.3

Question 1:

Name any two figures that have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry.

Answer:

Two figures that have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry are:

Circle and Square.

Question 2:

Draw, wherever possible, a rough sketch of:

(i) a triangle with both line and rotational symmetries of order more than 1.

(ii) a triangle with only line symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

(iii) a quadrilateral with a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 but not a line symmetry.

(iv) a quadrilateral with line symmetry but not a rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Answer:

(i) An equilateral triangle has both line and rotational symmetries of order more than 1.

Line symmetry:

Rotational symmetry:

(ii) An isosceles triangle has only one line of symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order

more than 1.

Line symmetry:

Rotational symmetry:

(iii) It is not possible because order of rotational symmetry is more than 1 of a figure, most a certain the line of symmetry.

(iv) A trapezium which has equal non-parallel sides, a quadrilateral with line symmetry but not

a rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Line symmetry:

Rotational symmetry:

Question 3:

If a figure has two or more lines of symmetry, should it have rotational symmetry of order more than 1?

Answer:

Yes, because every line through the centre forms a line of symmetry and it has rotational

symmetry around the centre for every angle.

Question 4:

Fill in the blanks:

Answer:

Question 5:

Name the quadrilateral which has both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Answer:

Square has both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Line symmetry:

Rotational symmetry:

Question 6:

After rotating by 60⁰ about a centre, a figure looks exactly the same as its original position. At what other angles will this happen for the figure?

Answer 6:

Other angles will be 120⁰ ,180⁰ ,240⁰ ,300⁰ ,360⁰.

For 60⁰ rotation: It will rotate six times.

For 120⁰ rotation: It will rotate three times.

For 180⁰ rotation: It will rotate two times.

For 360⁰ rotation: It will rotate one time.

Question 7:

Can we have a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 whose angle of rotation is:

(i) 45⁰                  (ii) 17⁰ ?

Answer:

(i) If the angle of rotation is 45⁰, then symmetry of order is possible and would be 8 rotations.

(ii) If the angle of rotational is 17⁰, then symmetry of order is not possible because 360⁰ is not

completely divided by 17⁰.
