Symmetry

Question
CBSEENMA7001046

Name the quadrilaterals which have both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Solution

Square, rectangle, and rhombus are the quadrilaterals which have both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1. A square has 4 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 4. A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2. A rhombus has 2 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2.
