By Heather McMaster

Do you recognise any of these car brand logos? Which ones have line symmetry but not rotational symmetry? Which ones have rotational symmetry but not line symmetry? Which ones have order 2 rotational symmetry? Which ones have order 3 rotational symmetry?

Answer:

I would sort the car brand logos like this.

Line symmetry but not rotational symmetry: Honda, Mazda, Toyota, Volkswagen

Order 2 rotational symmetry: Audi, Suzuki, Hyundai

Order 3 rotational symmetry: Yamaha, Mercedes Benz

Do you agree or disagree? Why?
