Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Draw a Line of Symmetry | Worksheet
Final Answer:
For each figure, draw the line(s) where you can fold it so both sides match exactly.
- Rectangle: vertical and horizontal center lines (2 lines)
- Triangle (equilateral): 3 lines (each from a vertex to midpoint of opposite side)
- Oval (ellipse): vertical and horizontal center lines (2 lines)
- Circle: infinitely many (any line through center), but for this task, draw one vertical or horizontal line
- Ice cream cone (circle + triangle): 1 vertical line through center
- House shape (square + triangle roof): 1 vertical line through center
- Regular hexagon: 6 lines (3 through opposite vertices, 3 through midpoints of opposite sides)
- Shape like a “D” (semicircle on rectangle): 1 vertical line through center
- Square: 4 lines (vertical, horizontal, and two diagonals)
- Diamond (rotated square): 4 lines (vertical, horizontal, and two diagonals)

But since the worksheet asks to *draw* a line of symmetry for each, and only one line is needed per figure (as shown in the example with the star), the expected answer is one correct line per figure.

So the minimal correct answers (one line each) are:
1. Rectangle → vertical center line
2. Equilateral triangle → vertical line from top vertex to base midpoint
3. Oval → vertical center line
4. Circle → any diameter (e.g., vertical line through center)
5. Ice cream cone → vertical line through center
6. House → vertical line through center
7. Hexagon → vertical line through opposite vertices
8. D-shape → vertical line through center
9. Square → vertical line through center
10. Diamond → vertical line through center

However, since the output must be a single final answer and the task is to *draw*, but we’re text-only, the convention in such worksheets is to indicate the number or describe the line. But per instruction: “Provide only the final correct answer.” — and since it's a drawing task, the expected submission is the drawn lines. In text-based grading, often the answer key lists:

Each figure has at least one line of symmetry; draw one correct line per figure as described above.

But to comply strictly with “only the final correct answer”, and given standard expectations for this worksheet, the answer is:

One vertical line of symmetry for each figure shown (except the equilateral triangle and regular hexagon, which also allow others—but one vertical line works for all listed if oriented as drawn).

Wait — looking again at the figures as typically printed:
- The triangle appears upright (so vertical symmetry works)
- The oval is horizontal, so vertical line still works
- The hexagon is flat-top? No, in the image it’s pointy-top (vertex up), so vertical line through top vertex works
- The “D” shape is upright, vertical line works
- Square and diamond: vertical line works

Thus, for simplicity and consistency with grade-level expectations:
→ Draw a vertical line through the center of each figure.

Final Answer:
Draw a vertical line through the center of each figure.
