Symmetry - Class 6 Free MCQ Test with solutions

A square has four lines of symmetry: one vertical, one horizontal, and two diagonals. This means it can be folded along any of these lines to make both halves match perfectly.

A rectangle has rotational symmetry of order 2. It fits into itself after a 180° rotation and again at 360°, making it look the same twice in one full rotation.

A circle has 360°, and with 12 equal parts, each part is 360° ÷ 12 = 30°. The clock looks the same after every 30° rotation due to its regular division.

A heart shape typically has one vertical line of symmetry, allowing it to be folded so both sides match perfectly.

A regular hexagon has rotational symmetry of order 6. It fits into itself 6 times in a 360° rotation, with the smallest angle of rotation being 60°.

A rectangle has two lines of symmetry: one vertical and one horizontal, allowing it to be reflected across these lines.

A starfish with 5 equal arms has rotational symmetry of order 5. The smallest angle of rotation is 360° ÷ 5 = 72°.

An isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry. An equilateral triangle has 3, and a scalene has none.

Slicing a cube through its center creates a square section, as it divides the cube into two equal mirror-image halves.

The letter ‘H’ has rotational symmetry of order 2. It looks the same after a 180° rotation and again at 360°.

A trapezoid generally has no lines of symmetry, unless it is an isosceles trapezoid, which has one.

A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry, with each line passing through a vertex and its opposite side.

• The letter M has one vertical line of symmetry.
• When a mirror is placed along this vertical line, the left and right halves are identical.
• Reflection across this line produces the same shape.
• No other mirror line (horizontal or diagonal) gives the same image.
