Answer for screen readers
The final answer is squares, circles, regular hexagons, rhombuses, and equilateral triangles.
More Information
Rotational symmetry means a shape appears the same after being rotated at certain angles. Regular polygons, such as squares and hexagons, have rotational symmetry of order equal to their number of sides.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming only regular shapes have rotational symmetry. Any shape can have it if it matches its original appearance at some rotation angle.
