Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

Every regular shaped figure will have rotational symmetry, since they are built with identical segments all around.

To find the answer, ask yourself « If I rotate the shape, is there a time where I’ll find the exact same shape again with a different angle? »

So, a square has rotational symmetry, but not a rectangle.

A equilateral triangle has rotational symmetry, but not any other type of triangle.
