Half turn
                    A half turn refers to a rotation of 180°.

                    Look at the given shape.








                                                   Put a dot on top of the shape and give it a half turn.







                    With the help of the dot, we can see that the shape forms an angle of 180° and                 180°
                    looks the same after a half turn. Thus, it shows rotational symmetry.



                    Some other shapes that show rotational symmetry after a half turn are shown below.











                    Some shapes that look different after a half turn are given below.












                    Full turn
                    A full turn refers to a rotation of 360°.

                    Look at the given shape.

                    Put a dot on top of the shape and give it a full turn as shown.














                    With the help of the dot, we can see that the shape forms an angle of 360° and looks exactly the
                    same after a full turn. Thus, it shows rotational symmetry.

                                                                                                                        127
