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

Draw a line of symmetry for each of the figures, wherever possible.

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 dashed line represents the line of symmetry.

The given figures is symmetrical as the figure is divided into two identical halves along two lines of symmetry which is called horizontal as well as vertical 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 hexagon which has $6$ sides.

A regular hexagon 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 $6$ lines of symmetry for a regular hexagon.

Draw a line of symmetry for each of the figures, wherever possible.
