Step-by-step solution for: Symmetrical Houses Geometry Worksheet
To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each house and decide if it is symmetrical.
What does symmetrical mean?
A shape is symmetrical if you can draw a line down the middle (usually a vertical line for houses) and the left side is a perfect mirror image of the right side. If you folded the paper along that line, the two halves would match up perfectly.
Let's check each house one by one:
* House a: The left side has a window on top and a door below. The right side has a window on top and a window below. They do not match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House b: The left side is tall with a chimney. The right side is short with no chimney. They do not match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House c: The roof slopes down evenly on both sides. There is a central door. There are two windows on the left and two matching windows on the right. The dormer window is in the center. This looks like a perfect match. -> Symmetrical
* House d: The roof is flat on one side and slanted on the other. The windows are staggered. They do not match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House e: The main part of the house is on the right, and a smaller part sticks out on the left. It is lopsided. -> Not Symmetrical
* House f: There is a garage door on the left and a regular door on the right. They are different shapes. -> Not Symmetrical
* House g: The roof is even. There is a central door. There are three windows on the left and three matching windows on the right. The decorations above the windows match too. -> Symmetrical
* House h: The roof has a dormer window on the right side but not on the left. The chimney is only on the left. They do not match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House i: The left wing has two small windows. The right wing has one large window. They do not match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House j: The roof is even. There is a central door. There are two windows on the left and two matching windows on the right. The bushes at the bottom are also mirrored. -> Symmetrical
* House k: The door is on the left side. There is a window on the right. If you drew a line down the middle, they wouldn't match. -> Not Symmetrical
* House l: This looks like two identical houses joined together. The left half is a mirror image of the right half. The peak of the roof is in the exact center. -> Symmetrical
Summary of Results:
* Symmetrical Houses (Color Light Blue): c, g, j, l
* Not Symmetrical Houses (Color Light Green): a, b, d, e, f, h, i, k
Drawing the Line of Symmetry:
For the symmetrical houses (c, g, j, l), you should draw a straight vertical red line directly down the center of the house, passing through the peak of the roof and the middle of the front door.
Final Answer:
Symmetrical Houses (Color Light Blue & Draw Red Line): c, g, j, l
Not Symmetrical Houses (Color Light Green): a, b, d, e, f, h, i, k

Not Symmetrical Houses (Color Light Green): a, b, d, e, f, h, i, k
