Question

symmetry quick check
which statement best summarizes the rotations that turn a square onto itself? (1 point)
a square will rotate onto itself after a 180 - degree rotation.
a square will rotate onto itself after 90 - degree, 180 - degree, 270 - degree, and 360 - degree rotations.
a square will rotate onto itself after a 90 - degree rotation.
a square will rotate onto itself after a 90 - degree or 180 - degree rotation.

Explanation:

A square has rotational symmetry of order 4. This means it can be rotated by 90 - degree increments (90°, 180°, 270°, 360°) about its center and still look the same.

Answer:

A square will rotate onto itself after 90 - degree, 180 - degree, 270 - degree, and 360 - degree rotations.
