u cee...rotational symetry means that when the object has turned 360 dgrees,,,how many times during its way it has looked just like the original one..
see..a rectangle. ok ...slowly keep rotating it till it has rotatd 90 dgrees...ok..like the longer part is now vertical..and the width, (the smaller par) is horizontal..so now is looking like original ..NO..ok..invert it more..another 90 dgrees..now it becoms like same before,,..ok..till now..the Order is 1..but its only 180 dgree rotation till now..rotate another 90 dgrees..it becomes upside down again..not same..so ratate more till its back to original position,,here,,it again looks same ofcourse so Order is 2..!

in all regular polygons..e.g square.equilateral triangle..regular pentagon e.t.c.. the Order is same as no. of sides..e.g in sqaure, the order will be 4.

no...if they give you a e.g square grid with randomly shaded boxes and ask to find the order..u'll have to do urself,,.no rules or methods.
