Question

Identify the types of symmetries exihibited by the figure shown below?

• A. Rotational symmetry
• B. Point symmetry
• C. Reflection symmetry
• D. Mirror symmetry

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Rotational symmetry
B Point symmetry
C Reflection symmetry
D Mirror symmetry

When the figure is rotated by 180${}^{\circ }$ and 360${}^{\circ }$, it looks same as original. So, it exhibits rotational symmetry of order 2.

If we look from upside and downside, the figure looks same. So, it has point symmetry.

Also, the given figure has a horizontal line of symmetry as shown below. So, it has reflection symmetry.


Mirror symmetry is another name for reflection symmetry.
