Question
- without rotating the letters 360°, which letters do not exhibit rotational symmetry for any amount of rotation?
Step1: Recall rotational symmetry concept
A shape has rotational symmetry if it looks the same after a rotation of less than 360°. Consider English - alphabet letters.
Step2: Analyze each letter
Letters like A, B, C etc. do not have rotational symmetry. Letters like H, I, N, O, S, X, Z have rotational symmetry. For example, the letter O looks the same after any rotation, and the letter H looks the same after a 180 - degree rotation. But letters such as A has a distinct orientation and does not look the same after any non - 360 - degree rotation.
