Hlf Turn Symmetry Cn you see tht this S shpe hs no lines of symmetry? It hs different type of symmetry. It hs turn symmetry. If pin ws stuck in its centre point nd the shpe turned (or rotted) y 80 round the point, it would fit ck on itself. centre turn (80 ) Exercise. Which of the following shpes hve turn symmetry?
