Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image provided shows a geometric figure, and the question asks to "Identify the smallest angle of rotation that maps the image to itself." The possible options are:
- 360°
- 90°
- No rotational symmetry
- 180°
Looking at the figure, it resembles a shape with bilateral symmetry, which suggests it has rotational symmetry at 180°. This means that if you rotate the shape by 180°, it will map onto itself. Therefore, the correct answer is 180°.
Would you like more details on rotational symmetry or help with other related concepts?
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What is the definition of rotational symmetry in geometry?
- Can a shape have more than one angle of rotational symmetry?
- What is the smallest angle of rotation that will map a square onto itself?
- How would you determine the rotational symmetry of a polygon?
- Is the angle of rotational symmetry always less than or equal to 360°?
Tip: To find rotational symmetry, imagine rotating the shape around its center and see when it matches its original position before completing a full 360° rotation.
