a) The measure of the angle of turn symmetry is 180⁰

b) The measures of the angles of turn symmetry are 90⁰, 180⁰ and 270⁰.

What is turn of angle of symmetry?

Angles of turn symmetry refer to the angles by which a geometric figure can be rotated to coincide with its original shape.

For the first figure

a) The parallelogram can be rotated 90⁰ twice to coincide with the original figure

The angles of turn of symmetry is

90⁰ + 90⁰ = 180⁰

b) For the figure 2

The semi-circle is rotated 4 times to coincide with the original shape.

Each rotation = 360/4

= 90⁰

The vertical semicircle turned 90⁰ to give horizontal one.

The vertical semicircle turned 180⁰ to give another vertical in opposite orientation.

And turned 270⁰ to produce horizontal in opposite orientation.

Therefore, the angles of turns are 90⁰, 180⁰ and 270⁰.
