point symmetry
no symmetry
rotational symmetry
1 answer
There is no rotational symmetry, as rotating the letter w by any angle will not result in the same shape. The letter w also does not have point symmetry, as there is no central point in the shape that divides it into equal halves. However, it does have reflectional symmetry. If a vertical line is drawn down the center of the letter w, the left half reflects the right half, resulting in two mirror images.
