    This document discusses lines of symmetry in different shapes. It states that drawing a line of symmetry on a triangle makes two triangles, on a rectangle makes two squares, on a square makes two triangles, on a quadrilateral makes two quadrilaterals, on a hexagon makes two pentagons, and on a heptagon makes two pentagons. It also acknowledges that some pentagons may have a vertical line of symmetry and that all regular polygons have at least one line of symmetry.

    Jack is correct.

    There are other possible answers that children may find that are
    pentagons with a vertical line of symmetry.

    This is true. All regular polygons have at least one line of symmetry.
    Depending on the orientation of the shape, this can be a vertical
    line of symmetry.
