1. Which of the following figures have rotational symmetry of order more than 1?

(i). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: Rotational symmetry or radial symmetry is the symmetry which is caused when an object if rotated about its own axis, gives back the same figure.

Order of rotational symmetry is the number of times a figure can be rotated $360^\circ $ to produce the similar figures.

The given figure can be rotated four times at $90^\circ $ angles each to produce the symmetrical figures.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is four.

So, the above figure has rotational symmetry of more than one.

(ii). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: The given figure can be rotated three times at $120^\circ $ angles each to produce the symmetrical figures.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is three.

So, the above figure has a rotational symmetry of more than one. 

(iii). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: The given figure has to be rotated $360^\circ $produce the symmetrical figure.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is one.

So, the above figure does not have a rotational symmetry of more than one. 

(iv). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: The given figure can be rotated two times at $180^\circ $ angles each to produce the symmetrical figures.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is two.

So, the above figure has a rotational symmetry of more than one.

Ans: The given figure can be rotated three times at $120^\circ $ angles each to produce the symmetrical figures.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is three.

So, the above figure has a rotational symmetry of more than one. 

(vi). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: The given figure can be rotated four times at $90^\circ $ angles each to produce the symmetrical figures.

Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry for the above figure is four.

So, the above figure has a rotational symmetry of more than one. 

2. Give the order of the rotational symmetry for each figure.

(i). (image will be uploaded soon)

Ans: Order of rotational symmetry is the number of times a figure can be rotated $360^\circ $ to produce the similar figures. 

To find the order of the rotational symmetry, we will fix a point in the given figure and then rotate the figure and check the order of symmetry. 

Let the fixed point on the figure be $A$.
