Question: 6 After rotating by $60^{0}$ about a centre, a figure looks exactly the same as its original position. At what other angles will this happen for the figure?

Answer:

After rotating by $60^{0}$ about a centre, a figure looks exactly the same as its original position, then it will look symmetrical on rotating by $120 \degree,180 \degree,240 \degree,300 \degree,360 \degree.$ All angles are multiples of $60^{0}$ .

Question: 7 Can we have a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 whose angle of rotation is:

$(i)\: 45^{o}?$ $(ii)\: 17^{o}?$

Answer:

We can observe that the angle of rotation is the factor of $360 \degree$ ,then it will have rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

(i) $45^{o}$ is a factor of $360 \degree$ so the figure having its angle of rotation as $45^{o}$ will have rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

(ii) $17^{o}$ is not a factor of $360 \degree$ so the figure having its angle of rotation as $17^{o}$ will not have rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of a job well done! Here are some testimonials from Clear Exam.

Clear Exam is an amazing institution. The teachers are really good, who can make your understanding of concepts, clear. They are ready to help you out whenever you need any help. In my opinion, this is one of the best institutions for JEE/NEET coaching out there.

- Mukul Sharma, IIT JEE One-year Classroom Program

Joining Clear Exam is the best decision I have made to date. At Clear Exam you are not taught by teachers but by mentors who are highly proficient and technically grounded. Clear Exam is unique in every way imaginable; the teaching style is versatile making excellent use of the most advanced technologies while at the same time makes use of the most rudimentary examples to further the understanding of a concept. With Clear Exam, you don’t learn to solve the given problem; rather you learn to solve any given problem elegantly.

- Arpit Jain, IIT JEE Two-year Classroom Program

Clear Exam is definitely a class apart from other coaching classes. The teachers are amazing, dedicated, and work hard to help us understand our basics. It has improved my school grades tremendously and has given me a different and broader outlook on many of the topics covered. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the classes so far, and look forward to the coming year!

- Taniya, NEET One-year Classroom Program

Clear Exam has redefined the way I look at Science and Math. Rajan Sir have explained concepts really well and kept on stressing the importance of thinking logically and hence enabling students to build a strong foundation in these subjects. Classes have been fun.
