5. ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY
If you can rotate a figure around a center point by
fewer than 360° and the figure appears unchanged, then
the figure has rotation symmetry.
The point around which you rotate is called
the point of rotation.
The smallest angle you need to turn is called the
angle of rotation.
