Center of Rotation
Center of Rotation refers to a fixed point around which a shape or object rotates. When you perform a rotational transformation, every point in the figure moves in a circular path around this central point by a specific angle.
This point remains stationary while the rest of the object moves in a circular motion around it. It’s akin to the pivot or axis point for the rotation, defining the point of reference around which the figure revolves.
Rotational Symmetry
Rotational Symmetry of various geometric shapes tells how many times a shape aligns to its original position when it is rotated 360 degrees. Various figures having rotational symmetry are Square, Circle, Rectangle, Equilateral Triangle, and others.
Symmetry refers to the balanced likeness and proportion between two halves of an object, where one side mirrors the other. Conversely, asymmetry denotes a lack of this balance. Symmetry manifests in nature, architecture, and art, and can be observed through flipping, sliding, or rotating objects. Different types of symmetry include :
- Reflection
- Translational
- Rotational
