The correct Answer is:
To find the order of rotational symmetry of a regular octagon, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition The order of rotational symmetry of a shape is the number of times the shape fits onto itself during a full rotation of 360 degrees. ### Step 2: Identify the Shape A regular octagon is a polygon with 8 equal sides and 8 equal angles. ### Step 3: Use the Formula For a regular polygon, the order of rotational symmetry is equal to the number of sides (n) of the polygon. ### Step 4: Apply the Formula Since an octagon has 8 sides, we can say: - n = 8 ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the order of rotational symmetry of a regular octagon is 8. ### Final Answer The order of rotational symmetry of a regular octagon is **8**. ---
