Rotational symmetry
when I learned rotational symmetry it was as an order of rotational symmetry , how many turns before the shape superimposed on itself.
I have to admit I am a bit stumped by the exact definition of " a shape with rotational symmetry"
How would you define it? surely every shape has rotational symmetry if it turns the full 360 degrees?

Hi,
On the CGP books, it states that rotational symmetry is how many times a shape can be turned until it fits into itself (or something like that). It also says that a shape that only fits onto itself once can be "Rotational Symmetry Order 1" OR "No rotational symmetry".
Could go both ways on this one (according to CGP)!
