Example 2: a rectangle (lines of symmetry) Locate the center of the 2D shape. Show step. Draw a small x x in the center of the square (this does not have to be exact). This is also known as the central point of the shape. Draw a horizontal and/or vertical line of symmetry through the center of the shape. Show step.

An Equilateral Triangle (3 sides) has 3 Lines of Symmetry. A Square (4 sides) has 4 Lines of Symmetry. A Regular Pentagon (5 sides) has 5 Lines of Symmetry. A Regular Hexagon (6 sides) has 6 Lines of Symmetry. A Regular Heptagon (7 sides)
Example 4: As shown in the diagram, this is one half of a symmetrical shape. Complete the shape by drawing the rest of it. Solution: Method 1: First, create a line of symmetry. On the other side of the line of symmetry, draw the other half of the shape. Method 2: First, create a line of symmetry.
Example 3: using angles. Show that the hexagon below has no lines of symmetry. Locate the centre of the 2D shape. Show step. Draw a small x x in the centre of the hexagon (this does not have to be exact): Use a ruler to visualise a horizontal and/or vertical line of symmetry through the centre of the shape. Show step.

Symmetry And Line Of Symmetry: An Introduction. In geometry, symmetry is defined as a balanced and proportionate similarity that is found in two halves of an object. It means one-half is the mirror image of the other half. The imaginary line or axis along which you can fold a figure to obtain the symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry.
