Geometry Search

Object One:
I found an earring shaped like a flower that has five sides. This object has a symmetry called a "5-sided rotational symmetry". You can rotate it five times and it will look exactly like your previous or next turn when turning the object.
Object Two:
My second object is a small box shaped like a sixe-sided hexagon. It is also known as a reflectional symmetry, because if you make a line symmetry on the box, all the points on one side of the object will match the other side.
