Description: In this video, we will learn the concept of symmetry and various real-life examples of symmetry and the line of symmetry of different figures

Question

Check whether the given figures are symmetric or not? Draw the line of symmetry as well.

Accepted Answer

A figure is said to be symmetrical, if by folding a figure along the line, the left and right part of it coincide exactly.

The line that divides the figure into two identical halves is known as the line of symmetry.

The line of symmetry can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

The given figures are symmetrical as the figure is divided into two identical halves along the line of symmetry which is called the vertical line of symmetry.

The figure represented is asymmetric as we cannot find any line that divides the figure into two identical halves.

The given figures are symmetrical as the figure is divided into two identical halves along the line of symmetry which is called the horizontal line of symmetry.

We know that a regular polygon is a polygon which possess equal sides and equal angles.

Here the figure represents a regular pentagon which has $5$ sides.

A regular pentagon is symmetrical as the figure is divided into two identical halves along their lines of symmetry.

The lines of symmetry of a regular polygon depends on the number of sides.

Hence, there are $5$ lines of symmetry for a regular pentagon.
