Class 7 Maths in Hindi
Rotational Symmetry
Rotation means the circular movement of an object around a center. It is possible to rotate different shapes by an angle around the center point.
Examples:
If you spin the wheel of a bicycle, it rotates. It can rotate in either way: both clockwise and anticlockwise.
(i) a clockwise rotation and
(ii) anticlockwise rotation.
Class 7 Maths Exercise 12.2 Important Questions
How do you know if a shape has rotational symmetry?
A figure has rotational symmetry if it can be rotated by an angle between 0° and 360° so that the image coincides with the pre-image. The angle of rotational symmetry is the smallest angle for which the figure can be rotated to coincide with itself.
Which figure has only rotational symmetry?
Common figures with only rotational symmetry are the recycling sign and fan blades. If a figure coincides with the original twice in one full turn, it has two-fold rotational symmetry, or rotational symmetry order two.
What are the 4 types of symmetry?
The four main types of this symmetry are:
(i) Translation
(ii) Rotation
(iii) Reflection
(iv) Glide reflection.
Do parallelograms have rotational symmetry?
Parallelogram. A parallelogram has no lines of symmetry. It has rotational symmetry of order two.
Centre of Rotation
When an object rotates, its shape and size do not change. The rotation turns an object about a fixed point. This fixed point is the centre of rotation.
Angle of Rotation
The angle of turning during rotation is called the angle of rotation. A full turn, you know, means a rotation of 360°.
Example:
The degree measure of the angle of rotation for
(i) a half-turn is 180⁰
(ii) a quarter-turn is 90⁰
Order of Rotational Symmetry
Consider a square with P as one of its corners
Let us perform quarter-turns about the centre of the square marked x. Rotation by 90° about the centre. In this way, when you complete four quarter-turns, the square reaches its original position.
Thus a square has a rotational symmetry of order 4 about its centre. Observe that in this case,
(i) The centre of rotation is the centre of the square.
(ii) The angle of rotation is 90°.
(iii) The direction of rotation is clockwise.
(iv) The order of rotational symmetry is 4.
