Answer
120°, 240°, 360°
multiples of 360° ÷ 3 = 120°
- 5.
A figure has a smallest angle of symmetry of 120°. How many times does it look the same during one full turn?
Answer
3
360° ÷ 120° = 3
Section C · long answer
- 6.
A rangoli design has 4 identical petals around its centre. It looks the same after each turn of the same size. What is the smallest such turn, and how many lines of symmetry does it have if every petal is symmetrical?
Answer
90°; 4 lines
360° ÷ 4 = 90°; one line through each petal
