  3. Burj Khalifa Tower This design was inspired by this desert flower, a relative of the tiger lily. You can see two congruent forms similar to the base of the tower.

  4. Burj Khalifa Tower Like the flower, the Tower has rotational symmetry. If you rotate the shape 120°, you end up with the same shape you started with.

  5. Burj Khalifa Tower We can overlay a hexagon over the flower. The hexagon also has rotational symmetry.

  6. Burj Khalifa Tower Here you can see that if you rotate the hexagon 60°, you end up with the same shape. (We’ve highlighted one of the hexagon sides to more easily see the rotation.)

  7. Burj Khalifa Tower The Burj Khalifa is in the United Arab Emirates, an Islamic country. Throughout its history, Islamic art uses hexagons and other composite shapes with rotational symmetry.
