- 1. (b) line of symmetry — That is a line of symmetry.
- 2. (b) 2 — A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry.
- 3. (a) 3 — It has 3 lines of symmetry.
- 4. (d) H — H is symmetric both ways.
- 5. A line that divides a figure into two mirror-image halves.
- 6. Four.
- 7. A figure has line symmetry when a straight line, called the line of symmetry, divides it into two halves that are exact mirror images — folding along the line makes the halves match. Different shapes have different numbers of such lines: a rectangle has 2 (the lines joining midpoints of opposite sides), an equilateral triangle has 3 (one from each vertex), and a circle has countless lines of symmetry, since any line through its centre divides it into matching halves.
