Question

Write the letter of the English alphabet, and state which letters have vertical lines of symmetry, which letters have horizontal line of symmetry, and which letters have both lines of symmetry.

Accepted Answer

We, need to write the English alphabets and state which of them have vertical lines of symmetry, which letters have horizontal line of symmetry, and which letters have both lines of symmetry.

We, know that,

The imaginary line or axis along which you can fold a figure to obtain the symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry.

The axis of the shape which divides the shape into two identical halves, vertically, is called a vertical line of symmetry.

The symmetry line or horizontal axis of a shape which divides the shape into two identical halves is known as horizontal line of symmetry.

Therefore, we write the letters of English alphabets such as,

$A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z$

Among these letters, the alphabets which have vertical lines of symmetry are:

$A, H, M, O, U, V, W, T, Y$

The alphabets which have horizontal lines of symmetry are:

$B, C, D, E, H, K, I, O, X$

The alphabets which have both lines of symmetry are:

$H, I, X$

Hence, the alphabets with vertical lines of symmetry, horizontal lines of symmetry, and both the lines of symmetry are as shown above.
