If yes identify the rotational symmetry Use the Formula 360 to calculate rotaional symmetry V= # of vertices Ms. Eppler GeometryDay 6 Symmetry- Line and Rotational November 8, 2015 Assignment: Draw a picture with either line symmetry or rotational symmetry If it has line symmetry, show where one line of symmetry would be and right as a reflection in function notation If it has rotational symmetry, state how many vertices your picture has and the rotational symmetry in degrees Ms. Eppler Geometry
