What is the special name for rotational symmetry of a rhombus?
Answers
Answer: hi here is ur answer
Step-by-step explanation:
When we talk about the Rotational Symmetry, we Mean to find the number of times the geometrical figure appears as if it was at the original Position while completing one complete rotation of 360 degrees. Further we say that this number of times is called the order of rotation of the figure.
Here we will discuss does a Rhombus have rotational symmetry? For this we will first look at the figure of the rhombus. We must recall that the rhombus is a regular quadrilateral, whose opposite angles are of equal measurement and the sum of the Adjacent Angles of the rhombus is 180 degrees. But there exist a difference between the rhombus and the Square, that all the angles of the square are right angles, which is not so in the case of the rhombus. Thus we come to the conclusion that the rhombus is a special type of the square, which we also call as the tilted square. We can also call a rhombus as a special type of a Parallelogram.
Further we say that the rhombus has a rotational symmetry of order 2, which means if the rhombus is rotated in the clock wise direction to complete one rotation, it will look exactly same as the original figure two times. These two times are the position at the angle of 180 degrees and at the angle of 360 degrees. Further we can also add up that the angle of the rotation of the rhombus is 180 degrees, which means that after the rotation of 180 degrees, the angle will be at the position of the rotational symmetry. Similarly once we know the angle of rotation of the figure, it will help us to find the order of rotation of the figure as 360 / 180, which is again equal to 2.
