Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific shapes in your uploaded image. However, based on the description of the worksheet titled
"Shapes and Lines of Symmetry", I can help you solve this type of problem and explain how to identify lines of symmetry.

🔍 What is a Line of Symmetry?
A
line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical halves, such that one half is the mirror image of the other. If you fold the shape along the line, both sides will match perfectly.

✔ How to Solve This Worksheet:
For each shape, determine if it has a line of symmetry. If it does, draw the line(s) and write "yes" or "no" accordingly.
Let’s go through common shapes like those likely on the worksheet:
---
#### 1.
Square
-
✔ Has
4 lines of symmetry:
- 2 diagonals
- 1 vertical
- 1 horizontal
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 2.
Regular Pentagon (5 sides)
-
✔ Has
5 lines of symmetry:
- One from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 3.
Rhombus (diamond shape)
-
✔ Has
2 lines of symmetry:
- Along the diagonals
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 4.
Flower-like shape (e.g., 6-petal flower)
-
✔ Usually has
6 lines of symmetry if evenly spaced
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 5.
Oval or Ellipse
-
✔ Has
2 lines of symmetry:
- Vertical and horizontal axes
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 6.
Star (5-pointed star)
-
✔ Has
5 lines of symmetry:
- From each point to the center
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 7.
Key-shaped figure
-
✘ Typically
no line of symmetry because one side is curved, the other straight
- ✔️ Answer:
No
#### 8.
Octagon (regular)
-
✔ Has
8 lines of symmetry:
- 4 through opposite vertices, 4 through midpoints of opposite sides
- ✔️ Answer:
Yes
#### 9.
Arrow (like →)
-
✘ Usually
no line of symmetry unless symmetrically designed
- But if it's symmetric (e.g., arrowhead mirrored), then
1 vertical line
- ⚠️ Depends on design — most arrows have
no line of symmetry
- ✔️ Answer:
No
---
📝 General Tips:
- Look for
mirror-image halves.
- Try folding the shape mentally.
- Regular polygons (equal sides & angles) always have lines of symmetry.
- Irregular or asymmetric shapes usually don’t.

✔ Final Answer Format (for each shape):
Write:
> Yes — draw a line of symmetry
> No — leave blank or write "no"
