Rhombus and Rotational Symmetry
Look at the blue rhombus (parallelogram with all four sides congruent) below. It will rotate and show you how many places it can stop and look like a the original rhombus. You can tell that it is moving in a clockwise manner by finding the corner that is marked for your convenience.
The order is 2 and the magnitude of rotation is 180 degrees.
