What is the least angle measure by which this figure can be rotated so that it maps onto itself?
45°
90°
180°
360°
Solution:
Let us consider each angle one by one and find the rotational symmetry in each case.
1. 45° - If the figure is rotated about 45° it will not map onto itself.
2. 90° - If the figure is rotated about 90°, it will be perpendicular to the given figure.
3. 180° - If the figure is rotated about 180°, it will map onto itself correctly.
4. 360° - If the figure is rotated about 360°, it will map onto itself correctly.
As the question is about the least angle, 180° < 360°.
Therefore, the least angle measure is 180°.

Summary:
The least angle measure by which this figure can be rotated so that it maps onto itself is 180°.
