Question 3 of 7intermediate✨ CreateDiagram3 marks

Draw two figures other than a circle and a square that have both reflection symmetry and rotational symmetry.

Correct Answer

Examples of figures with both reflection and rotational symmetry include: 1) A regular pentagon - has 5 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 5 (angles 72°, 144°, 216°, 288°, 360°). 2) A regular hexagon - has 6 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 6 (angles 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, 300°, 360°). 3) An equilateral triangle - has 3 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 3. 4) A rectangle (non-square) - has 2 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2.

Explanation

The chapter discusses that some figures have both reflection symmetry (lines of symmetry) and rotational symmetry (angles of symmetry). Regular polygons are good examples as they have both types of symmetry.
