To determine if we can have a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 for the given angles of rotation (i) 45° and (ii) 17°, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of rotational symmetry Rotational symmetry of an object means that the object can be rotated around a central point and still look the same at certain angles. The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times the object looks the same during a full rotation of 360°. ### Step 2: Identify the condition for rotational symmetry of order more than 1 For an object to have a rotational symmetry of order more than 1, the angle of rotation must be a factor of 360°. This means that when you divide 360° by the angle of rotation, the result should be a whole number greater than 1. ...
