Which figure has the same order of rotational symmetry as a rectangle?

A rectangle has an order of rotational symmetry of 2. This means that if you rotate a rectangle by 180 degrees, it looks the same. The figure that has the same order of rotational symmetry as a rectangle is a rhombus.

Both shapes can be rotated halfway around (180 degrees) and still appear unchanged. However, it’s important to note that while a rectangle maintains its symmetrical properties throughout a 90-degree rotation, a rhombus does not; it only looks the same at 180 degrees and 360 degrees. Thus, the rhombus shares this order of symmetry but differs in its other rotational characteristics.
