Question
what types of symmetry does the figure have? explain.
the given figure has \\(\square\\) line(s) of reflection and rotational symmetry at \\(\boxed{}\\) (type a whole number.)
Step1: Analyze Reflection Symmetry
The figure is a rhombus - like (or square - based) symmetric figure. A square (and this figure, being composed of squares rotated and nested) has 4 lines of reflection symmetry: one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonal lines that pass through opposite vertices. So the number of lines of reflection is 4.
Step2: Analyze Rotational Symmetry
For rotational symmetry, we check the angle of rotation that maps the figure onto itself. The formula for the angle of rotational symmetry is $\frac{360^{\circ}}{n}$, where $n$ is the number of times it maps onto itself in a full rotation. For a square - like figure, it maps onto itself at $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, and $360^{\circ}$. So the smallest non - zero angle of rotational symmetry is $90^{\circ}$, and the order of rotational symmetry (the number of times it maps onto itself in $360^{\circ}$) is 4. But the question asks for the angle of rotational symmetry (the measure of the smallest angle for which it has rotational symmetry). So the rotational symmetry angle is $90^{\circ}$ (and also $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, $360^{\circ}$, but the smallest non - trivial one is $90^{\circ}$). But in the context of the problem, when we talk about rotational symmetry "at" a number, if we consider the order (number of times it repeats in $360^{\circ}$), the order is 4, but if we consider the angle, it's $90^{\circ}$. Wait, the problem says "rotational symmetry at" and the first blank is for the number of lines of reflection (4), and the second blank: let's re - examine. The figure is a square - based figure (nested squares rotated). A square has rotational symmetry of order 4 (rotates onto itself every $90^{\circ}$). So the number of lines of reflection is 4, and the rotational symmetry angle (the smallest angle) is $90^{\circ}$, but if we consider the order (number of rotational symmetries in $360^{\circ}$), it's 4. But the problem's first blank is "line(s) of reflection" (4), and the second blank: let's see the figure. The figure is a square (or rhombus with square properties) - like, so lines of reflection: 4. Rotational symmetry: the angle of rotation for which it is symmetric. For a square, the rotational symmetry angles are $90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, $360^{\circ}$. The smallest non - zero angle is $90^{\circ}$, but the order (number of times it maps to itself in $360^{\circ}$) is 4. But the problem says "rotational symmetry at" - maybe it's the angle? Wait, no, the first blank is a whole number (number of lines of reflection: 4), the second blank: let's check the figure again. The figure is composed of squares, so it has 4 lines of reflection (vertical, horizontal, two diagonals). For rotational symmetry, the angle of rotation that maps it to itself is $90^{\circ}$, but the order (number of rotational symmetries) is 4. But the problem's second blank: maybe the angle? Wait, no, the problem says "rotational symmetry at" and the first blank is "line(s) of reflection" (4), and the second blank: let's see the options (the dropdown). But since we have to type a whole number? Wait, no, maybe the order? Wait, the first blank: number of lines of reflection: 4. The second blank: the angle of rotational symmetry (the smallest angle) is $90^{\circ}$, but if we consider the order (number of times it rotates to itself in $360^{\circ}$), it's 4. But the problem says "rotational symmetry at" - maybe the angle. Wait, no, let's think again. The figure is a square (nested squares), so:

The first blank (number of lines of reflection) is 4, and the second blank (rotational symmetry order or angle, but considering the figure is a square, rotational symmetry at $90^{\circ}$ or order 4. But since the first is a whole number (4) and the second, if we take the angle, 90, but maybe the order. Wait, no, the problem says "rotational symmetry at" - maybe the angle is $90^{\circ}$, but the first blank is 4. So:
The given figure has $\boldsymbol{4}$ line(s) of reflection and rotational symmetry at $\boldsymbol{90^{\circ}}$ (but if we consider the order, 4). Wait, no, the problem says "Type a whole number" for the first blank, and the second blank: maybe the angle is 90 (a whole number). So:
The given figure has $\boldsymbol{4}$ line(s) of reflection and rotational symmetry at $\boldsymbol{90}$ (degrees, but as a whole number).
