The image below is a dartboard. It has what is called rotational symmetry.
An image has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated through a certain angle and appear unchanged. Assume A is
the measure of the angle (the smallest number of degrees that shows rotational symmetry) and n = 360=A. If n is a
whole number, then we call the symmetry “n-fold”.
What is the symmetry of the dartboard?
A.
20-fold
