Chapter SR16, Problem 6P

Solution

Tell how many lines of symmetry the figure has.

Four lines of symmetry.

Given:

A square.

  

Concept Used:

• The imaginary line or axis along which you can fold a figure to obtain the symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry.
• It is also termed as the axis of symmetry.
• The line symmetry is also called a mirror line because it presents two reflections of an image that coincide.

Calculation:

The given square is -

  

The square has four lines of symmetry.

  

So, four lines of symmetry.
