Which shape has the greatest number of lines of symmetry?
circle
The most symmetric shape A circle has infinitely many lines of symmetry: any diameter lies on a line of symmetry through the center of the circle.
How many lines of symmetry does a stop sign have?
An octagon is a polygon that has eight sides. In the figure below are 3 different types of octagons. A stop sign is an example of objects in everyday life that is in the shape of an octagon….Symmetry in regular octagons.
Lines of symmetry | Rotational symmetry |
---|---|
8 lines of symmetry | Eight 45°angles of rotation |
How do you find the number of lines of symmetry?
Folding Test You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it. When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry.
What are examples of lines of symmetry?
For example, if we cut an apple in two equal halves, then the piece of apple is said to be in symmetry with another. One more good example is to imagine if we cut an equilateral triangle into two equal halves, then the two triangles formed after the intersection is the right-angled triangles.
What shape has the greatest number of lines of symmetry Besides circle?
A circle has infinite lines of symmetry. Likewise, a triangle has three lines of symmetry, while rectangle and square have four such lines which divide them into identical parts.
Which shape has the fewest lines of symmetry?
Parallelogram
- A parallelogram has no lines of symmetry.
- It has rotational symmetry of order two.
How many lines of symmetry does circle have?
Since there are an infinite number of lines through the center, the circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry.
How many lines of symmetry does the circle have?
Which shape has 4 lines of symmetry?
square
A square is a regular polygon . It has four lines of symmetry and four sides.
How many lines of symmetry has a circle?
Since there are an infinite number of lines through the center, the circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. When the circle is folded over a line of symmetry, the parts of the circle on each side of the line match up.
Which shape has no lines of symmetry?
scalene triangle
Two shapes that have no lines of symmetry are the scalene triangle and an irregular quadrilateral.
How many lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
An Equilateral Triangle (3 sides) has 3 Lines of Symmetry A Square (4 sides) has 4 Lines of Symmetry
How many lines of symmetry does a regular heptagon have?
A Regular Heptagon (7 sides) has 7 Lines of Symmetry A Regular Octagon (8 sides) has 8 Lines of Symmetry
How many lines of symmetry does a regular octagon have?
A Regular Octagon (8 sides) has 8 Lines of Symmetry And the pattern continues: A regular polygon of 9 sides has 9 Lines of Symmetry
How many lines of symmetry are there in a fold?
If the shape on each side of the fold is the same, the fold line is a line of symmetry. This fi gure can be folded along four different lines to create mirrored shapes: one horizontal, one vertical, and two oblique. You can sketch the complete How many lines of symmetry are possible for each figure?
