Question

What is order of rotational symmetry of an oval?

Answer 1

Answer:

When we look at the above images of ellipse, it fits on to itself 2 time during a full rotation of 360 degrees. So, an ellipse has rotational symmetry of order 2.

Answer 2

The order of rotation symmetry of oval is 2.

Order Rotation Symmetry:

• The order of rotational symmetry of a figure is, how many times a figure fits onto itself during a full rotation of 360°. So that it looks exactly the same as the original figure.
• let's see how it works on the oval. In the figure below we can see that the dot is down in the first image when it's rotated once the dot is above when it rotates once again the oval comes back to its initial position.

So, Oval has rotational symmetry of order 2.
