Lesson 2.2: Symmetry of Solids

Question 18 • (OC27) MATH COLL LIB ARTS-1207350-S1-Maguire-D'Aquino

If an object maps onto itself after being rotated 180 degrees or less about a line, it has

Answer
A
rotational symmetry.
B
no plane of symmetry.
C
reflectional symmetry.
D
no axis of symmetry.

Explanation

Rotational symmetry means an object matches its original position after being turned around an axis by some angle less than or equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, the correct choice is rotational symmetry. Reflectional symmetry instead involves flipping an object across a plane.
