A rotation of blank would turn the figure onto itself.

Answer 1

To determine the degree of rotation that would turn a figure onto itself, we need to know the number of symmetrical rotations the figure has.

For many common shapes, the degree of rotation that will turn the figure onto itself can be calculated by dividing 360 degrees by the number of rotational symmetries (sides) the shape has.

For example:

• A square (4 sides) has rotational symmetry at 90 degrees (360/4 = 90).
• A regular triangle (3 sides) has rotational symmetry at 120 degrees (360/3 = 120).
• A regular pentagon (5 sides) has rotational symmetry at 72 degrees (360/5 = 72).

If you provide the specific figure in question, I could give you the exact degree of rotation!
