 (a) Rotational Symmetry
The icon looks the same after each 120° rotation.
It has rotational symmetry.

The number of times an object looks the same in a 360° turn is called the
order of rotation.

The icon repeats itself 3 times

when it is rotated through 360°.
This icon has rotational
symmetry of order ___.3
