Continuation…

+ Imaginary Line That

Divides A Figure Into Two
Identical Halves Is Called
The Line Of Symmetry Or
Axis Of Symmetry Of That
Figure
Shapes With
One Line Of
Symmetry
+ A Line Of Symmetry
Is A Line That Cuts A
Shape Exactly In Half.
This Means That If You
Were To Fold The
Shape Along The Line,
Both Halves Would
Match Exactly.
Shapes With
Two Lines Of
Symmetry
Shapes That Have 2 Lines Of
Symmetry
Points To Remember
+ An Equilateral Triangle Has Three Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Square Has Four Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Pentagon Has 5 Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Hexagon Has 6 Lines Of Symmetry
+ The Number Of Lines In A Regular Polygon Is Always Equals To Number Of
Sides
