    Step-by-step explanation:

    A polygon in the plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by rotating between 0 and 360° about it's center.

    So, we need to find the number of symmetrical line a regular polygon can have.

    Note : A regular polygon with n sides has n lines of symmetry and order of symmetry n.

    Then, let n be number of symmetrical line lines

    Then,

    Smallest angle of rotation about the center for which the polygon will be mapped unto itself is

    360 / n
