Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Lines of symmetry and Rotational Symmetry - Worksheets and Answers ...
To solve the problem of identifying and drawing the lines of symmetry on these shapes, we need to determine where a shape can be folded such that both halves match perfectly. Here's a step-by-step explanation for each shape:

---

Row 1:


1. Square (Rectangle):
- A square has 4 lines of symmetry: two vertical, two horizontal.
- Draw one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines from corner to corner.

2. Heart:
- A heart has 1 line of symmetry: vertical.
- Draw a vertical line down the middle.

3. Cross with Arrows:
- This shape has 4 lines of symmetry: two vertical, two horizontal.
- Draw one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines from corner to corner.

4. Trapezoid:
- A trapezoid with equal non-parallel sides has 1 line of symmetry: vertical.
- Draw a vertical line down the middle.

Row 2:


5. Parallelogram:
- A generic parallelogram has 0 lines of symmetry unless it is a special case like a rectangle or rhombus.
- No lines of symmetry.

6. Arrow (Pointing Up):
- This arrow has 1 line of symmetry: vertical.
- Draw a vertical line down the middle.

7. L-shaped Figure:
- This shape has 1 line of symmetry: vertical.
- Draw a vertical line down the middle.

8. Irregular Pentagon:
- This irregular pentagon has 0 lines of symmetry.
- No lines of symmetry.

Row 3:


9. Curved Arrow:
- This shape has 0 lines of symmetry.
- No lines of symmetry.

10. Wavy Line:
- This shape has 0 lines of symmetry.
- No lines of symmetry.

11. Pentagon:
- A regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry.
- Draw 5 lines connecting each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

12. Diamond (Rhombus):
- A diamond has 4 lines of symmetry: two vertical, two horizontal.
- Draw one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines from corner to corner.

Row 4:


13. Star:
- A regular star (pentagram) has 5 lines of symmetry.
- Draw 5 lines connecting each point to the midpoint of the opposite side.

14. Hexagon:
- A regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry: three vertical, three horizontal.
- Draw three vertical lines, three horizontal lines, and three diagonal lines.

15. Square with Rounded Corners:
- This shape has 4 lines of symmetry: two vertical, two horizontal.
- Draw one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines from corner to corner.

16. Plus Sign (+):
- This shape has 4 lines of symmetry: two vertical, two horizontal.
- Draw one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines from corner to corner.

Final Answer:


Here is a summary of the number of lines of symmetry for each shape:

1. Square: 4
2. Heart: 1
3. Cross with Arrows: 4
4. Trapezoid: 1
5. Parallelogram: 0
6. Arrow (Pointing Up): 1
7. L-shaped Figure: 1
8. Irregular Pentagon: 0
9. Curved Arrow: 0
10. Wavy Line: 0
11. Pentagon: 5
12. Diamond: 4
13. Star: 5
14. Hexagon: 6
15. Square with Rounded Corners: 4
16. Plus Sign: 4
