Imagine rotating the shape 360° about its centre. Count how many times the shape looks
identical to its starting position.

Ignoring the shading, the shape only looks the same at 90°, 180°, 270° and 360°.
The shading is the same as the original at 180° and 360°.

Order of rational symmetry is 2 [1]

1 kilometre = 1000 metres so multiply distances in km by 1000 to convert to m

90 km = (90 × 1000) m = 90,000 m

1 minute = 60 minutes = 60 lots of 60 seconds.

1 h = (1 × 60 × 60) s = 3600 s

90 km in one hour is equivalent to 90,000 metres in 3600 seconds

speed =

Dividing 90,000 by 3600 gives the final answer

25 m/s [1]

None of the sides are square, so there are only 3 planes of symmetry, which are shown below.

1 m2 = 1002 cm2 so convert cm2 into m2 by dividing by 1002.

45.7 m2 [1]

A plane of symmetry is where a shape can be "sliced" such that it is symmetrical
For a square-based pyramid, it can be sliced in 4 different ways; along each diagonal, and
through the middle of each triangular face (as the triangles are isosceles)
