How many lines of symmetry does a parallelogram have?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

A parallelogram does not have any lines of symmetry.

  • Symmetry involves a shape being identical on both sides of a line.
  • A parallelogram can be divided by a line, but both sides will not be mirror images.
  • Thus, it has zero lines of symmetry.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 4
Save

Which of the following shapes has rotational symmetry of order 1?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

An isosceles triangle has rotational symmetry of order 1, meaning it looks the same after a 360-degree rotation.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 5
Save

What is the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon is 540 degrees.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 6
Save

Identify the shape that has both rotational symmetry and at least one line of symmetry.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (horizontal and vertical through midpoints) and rotational symmetry of order 2 (looks the same after a 180° turn).

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 7
Save

Which of the following shapes does not have any lines of symmetry?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

A scalene triangle does not have any lines of symmetry.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 8
Save

Which 2D shape has rotational symmetry of order 6?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

A shape with rotational symmetry of order 6 can be rotated into a position that looks the same at six different angles within a full 360 degrees.

  • A hexagon, specifically a regular hexagon, has this property.
  • The hexagon can be rotated by 60 degrees and will still look the same, repeating this six times in a full circle.

Therefore, the correct answer is the hexagon.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 9
Save

How many lines of symmetry does a regular octagon have?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

A regular octagon has 8 equal sides and 8 lines of symmetry, each passing through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side.

Test: Shapes and Symmetry - Question 10
Save

The figure which has two lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2 is:

Detailed Solution: Question 10

A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (horizontal and vertical) and rotational symmetry of order 2 (180° rotation).
