Test: Does it Look the Same? - 1 - Class 5 MCQ

So, 3 figures have no line of symmetry.

To make the figure symmetrical along the dotted line, additional squares need to be drawn. Here’s the solution:

• Identify the current asymmetry in the figure.
• Determine how many squares are missing on one side of the dotted line compared to the other.
• Draw the missing squares to balance both sides.

Answer: 3 additional squares are needed to achieve symmetry.

Which of the following is a line of symmetry of the figure?

To determine the lines of symmetry for the given figure, consider the following points:

• Line L: Check if the figure can be folded along this line so that both halves match.
• Line M: Assess whether this line creates two identical sections when the figure is folded.
• Line N: Evaluate if this line divides the figure into mirror-image halves.
• Line O: Confirm if this line also results in two congruent parts upon folding.

By analysing these lines, identify the correct lines of symmetry that apply to the figure. Only those that successfully divide the figure into matching halves should be considered valid.

Which of the following figures has a line of symmetry?

To determine if a figure has a line of symmetry, consider the following points:

• Line of symmetry: This is an imaginary line where one half of the figure is a mirror image of the other half.
• Examine each figure for potential folding along a line that creates two identical halves.
• Common shapes with symmetry include circles, squares, and some triangles.
• Look for vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines that can split the figure evenly.

By applying these principles, you can identify which figure possesses a line of symmetry.
