Ex 14.3 Class 7 Maths Question 2.
Draw, wherever possible, a rough sketch of
(i) a triangle with both line and rotational symmetries of order more than 1.
(ii) a triangle with only line symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1.
(iii) a quadrilateral with a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 but not a line symmetry.
(iv) a quadrilateral with line symmetry but not a rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Ex 14.3 Class 7 Maths Question 5.
Name the quadrilaterals which have both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1.
Solution:
Square, rectangles and rhombus are such quadrilateral which have both line and rotational symmetry.
Ex 14.3 Class 7 Maths Question 6.
After rotating by 60° about a centre, a figure looks exactly the same as its original position. At what other angles will this happen for the figure?
Solution:
If a figure is rotated through the angles 120°, 180°, 240°, 300° and 360°, it looks exactly the same.
Ex 14.3 Class 7 Maths Question 7.
