Hub Cap 1 Hub Cap 2 Hub Cap 3 Hub Cap 4
A good source of objects that have rotational symmetry happen to be hub caps. Have you noticed? Take a look at the four hub caps above. All have rotational symmetry. Now it's your turn. See if you can give the order of each and their magnitudes and when you're done, check them.
Take a look at cars and see what other kinds of hubcaps possess rotational symmetry. Can you find any hub caps that don't have rotational symmetry?
