Step1: Recall line - symmetry concept
A line of symmetry divides a shape into two congruent parts.
Step2: Recall rotation - symmetry concepts
The order of rotation is the number of times a shape fits onto itself during a 360 - degree rotation. The angle of rotation $\theta=\frac{360^{\circ}}{\text{Order of rotation}}$.
For the rectangle (top - left):
- Lines of symmetry: A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (vertical and horizontal).
- Order of rotation: 2 (it fits onto itself 2 times in a 360 - degree rotation).
- Angle of rotation: $\frac{360^{\circ}}{2}=180^{\circ}$
For the isosceles triangle (top - middle):
- Lines of symmetry: 1 (the line that bisects the angle between the equal sides).
- Order of rotation: 1 (it only fits onto itself once in a 360 - degree rotation).
- Angle of rotation: $360^{\circ}$
For the parallelogram (top - right):
- Lines of symmetry: 0
- Order of rotation: 2
- Angle of rotation: $180^{\circ}$
For the square - like shape (second row, left):
- Lines of symmetry: 4 (2 diagonals and 2 perpendicular bisectors of the sides).
- Order of rotation: 4
- Angle of rotation: $\frac{360^{\circ}}{4}=90^{\circ}$
For the irregular shape (second row, middle):
- Lines of symmetry: 0
- Order of rotation: 1
- Angle of rotation: $360^{\circ}$
For the regular pentagon (second row, right):
- Lines of symmetry: 5
- Order of rotation: 5
- Angle of rotation: $\frac{360^{\circ}}{5}=72^{\circ}$
For the curved - shape (third row, left):
- Lines of symmetry: 1
- Order of rotation: 1
- Angle of rotation: $360^{\circ}$
For the arrow - like shape (third row, middle):
- Lines of symmetry: 1
- Order of rotation: 1
- Angle of rotation: $360^{\circ}$
For the ellipse (third row, right):
- Lines of symmetry: 2 (major and minor axes).
- Order of rotation: 2
- Angle of rotation: $180^{\circ}$
For the star - like shape (fourth row, left):
- Lines of symmetry: 4
- Order of rotation: 4
- Angle of rotation: $90^{\circ}$
For the regular hexagon (fourth row, middle):
- Lines of symmetry: 6
- Order of rotation: 6
- Angle of rotation: $\frac{360^{\circ}}{6}=60^{\circ}$
For the 5 - pointed star (fourth row, right):
- Lines of symmetry: 5
- Order of rotation: 5
- Angle of rotation: $72^{\circ}$
