  2. a) Make a picture that DOES NOT have point symmetry but DOES have rotational symmetry

  3. And then, answer this question. If an image has rotational symmetry, which ones also have point symmetry? Can you find a rule for the order or magnitude of a figure that has both rotational symmetry and point symmetry.
