Rotational Symmetry

A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation between and about the center of the figure. This point is called the center of symmetry. When a figure has rotational symmetry, it is said to be rotationally symmetric.
A square, an equilateral triangle, and the digit 0
As shown, a square, an equilateral triangle, and the digit all have rotational symmetry, each with a particular angle measure. The order of symmetry of a figure is the number of times it maps onto itself while rotating from to
