Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Angles are given where the equilateral triangle rotate.
Concept used: Rotational symmetry is the symmetry when it looks the same after some rotation by a partial turn.
In a regular polygon divide 360º by the number of sides to get the smallest angle of rotation.
Calculation: In the given figure is equilateral triangle which is regular polygon.
Here, the number of sides = 3
Smallest angle of rotation = 360º / 3
⇒ 120º
If we rotate the polygon the angle at 240º, after that the polygon looks same.
And also if rotate at 360º, it mean complete rotation, also it looks same.
∴ The angles of rotation are 120º, 240º, 360º.
∴ Option 3 is correct.
