Let’s go through each shape one by one and decide if it has a line of symmetry.
A
line of symmetry means you can fold the shape in half along that line, and both sides will match exactly — like a mirror image.
We’ll check each box:
---
Left Page:
1.
Butterfly – Yes! If you draw a vertical line down the middle, left and right wings match.
2.
Sun with rays – Yes! It has many lines of symmetry (vertical, horizontal, diagonal), but even just one counts.
3.
Umbrella – No! The handle is on one side only — not symmetrical.
4.
Crown – Yes! Vertical line down the middle makes both sides match.
5.
Envelope – Yes! Vertical line down the middle — flaps match.
6.
Puzzle piece – No! The bumps and holes are not mirrored on both sides.
✔ So for left page: Butterfly
✔, Sun
✔, Umbrella
✘, Crown
✔, Envelope
✔, Puzzle Piece
✘
→ That’s 4 shapes with symmetry.

Right Page:
1.
Hand – No! Left hand vs right hand — not symmetrical unless it’s a perfect mirror, which this isn’t.
2.
House – Yes! Vertical line down the middle — roof, door, windows match.
3.
Letter X – Yes! Both vertical and horizontal lines work — definitely symmetric.
4.
Light bulb – Yes! Vertical line down the middle — base and glass part match.
5.
Car – Yes! Vertical line down the middle — headlights, wheels, body match.
6.
Scissors – Yes! Vertical line down the middle — blades and handles match.
✔ So for right page: Hand
✘, House
✔, X
✔, Light Bulb
✔, Car
✔, Scissors
✔
→ That’s 5 shapes with symmetry.

Total shapes with line of symmetry = 4 (left) + 5 (right) =

Final Answer:
