Rotation symmetry is when a figure looks the same after being rotated by a certain angle around a fixed center point.

A figure has rotation symmetry when it looks the same after being rotated by a certain angle around a fixed center point.

The rotation symmetry of a figure can be determined by identifying the angles at which the figure looks unchanged.

For example, a square has rotation symmetry of 90 degrees because it looks the same after being rotated by 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees.

On the other hand, a triangle does not have rotation symmetry because it looks different after being rotated by any angle other than 0 degrees or 360 degrees.
