Question

question 8 of 10

a shape with rotational symmetry can be rotated around a point so that all of its characteristics are maintained.

a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Analyze the definition of rotational symmetry

Rotational symmetry means that a shape looks exactly the same after a rotation of less than \(360^\circ\) around its center point. When a shape is rotated by its angle of rotational symmetry, all of its geometric characteristics (such as position, orientation, appearance, and side/angle relationships) are mapped onto themselves, meaning they are fully maintained.

Evaluate the statement

The statement says: "A shape with rotational symmetry can be rotated around a point so that all of its characteristics are maintained." Since this matches the fundamental definition of rotational symmetry, the statement is true.

Answer:

• A. True (Correct answer)
• B. False
