Question

hw 4: symmetry
determine if the figure has line, point, and/or rotational symmetry. check all that apply.
line symmetry
point symmetry
rotational symmetry
none of the above

Explanation:

1. Line Symmetry: A rhombus (the given figure) has two lines of symmetry along its diagonals. Folding the rhombus along these lines maps it onto itself.
2. Point Symmetry: A rhombus has point symmetry about the intersection of its diagonals. Rotating the rhombus 180° about this point maps it onto itself.
3. Rotational Symmetry: A rhombus has rotational symmetry of order 2 (it can be rotated by 180° and 360° to map onto itself). Rotating it by 180° about the center (intersection of diagonals) results in the same figure.

Answer:

• Line Symmetry (checked)
• Point Symmetry (checked)
• Rotational Symmetry (checked)
• None of the above (unchecked)
