Rotating Shapes

Introduction

What do you say when the hands of a clock go round?

You say that they rotate. The hands of a clock rotate in only

one direction, about a fixed point, the center of the clock-face.

Rotation, like movement of the hands of a clock, is called

a clockwise rotation; otherwise it is said to be anticlockwise.​

Rotational Symmetry

By Deshna, Ishika, Jiyareet, Janisha, Gaurika

What Is Rotational Symmetry?

​Rotational symmetry is a shape when it looks the same even after rotation as it has started from its starting point example clock, wheels, fan 

The center of rotation is a point that is the same distance from any pair of corresponding points. 

What is Centre Of Rotation ?

The angle by which the object rotates is called the angle of rotation. A half-turn means rotation by 180. Example: A regular hexagon has rotational symmetry.
