Rotational and Reflection Symmetry

Angle of Rotation

What's the smallest angle of rotation you could use to get your original figure? Experiment by using the green slider at the top.

Lines of Symmetry

How many lines of symmetry does your figure have? Test it out by moving the red dot at the picture at the right. That shows what would happen if you folded the figure along the dotted line.

Application to a regular polygon...

Let's say you have a regular dodecagon (a shape with 12 sides and 12 angles)... What would be the angle of rotation to get the same figure?
