What is rotational symmetry?

• Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be rotated less than a full circle and still look the same.

• Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be resized without changing its appearance.

• Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be reflected across a line and still look the same.

• Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be translated to a different location and still look the same.

Explain how rotations are represented in the coordinate plane.

• Rotations are represented by changing the sign of the coordinates of a point.

• Rotations are represented by applying a rotation matrix to the coordinates of a point, where the new coordinates are calculated using trigonometric functions sine and cosine.

• Rotations are represented by dividing the coordinates of a point by a constant value.

• Rotations are represented by translating the coordinates of a point along the x-axis.

How can rotations of shapes be useful in computer graphics?

• Rotations cause distortion and blurriness in graphics

• Rotations make graphics appear static and uninteresting
