How many lines of symmetry are there in a square?
A square is a regular quadrilateral which means that it has 4 lines of symmetry (2 of each of the types mentioned above). Here is a diagram so that you can see where they are: Finding the line of symmetry of a pentagon What is a line of symmetry in a pentagon?
How to find a line of symmetry in KS1?
Children studying KS1 primary school maths will need to learn how to find vertical lines of symmetry in year 2. You may be shown a shape with a vertical line through it and asked whether or not the line is a line of symmetry.
When is a 2D shape a line of symmetry?
A 2D shape is symmetrical if a line can be drawn through it and either side is a reflection of the other. You would call this the line of symmetry. If you put a mirror on this line, you would see the whole shape in the reflection.
How many lines of symmetry does a pentagon have?
Regular pentagons (and any other regular shapes with an odd number of sides) only have one type of line of symmetry: lines which join the middle of one side of the shape to the opposite vertex. How many lines of symmetry does a pentagon have?
