Question
A square and a rectangle have
- only one line of symmetry
- two lines of symmetry
- four lines of symmetry
- an unequal number of lines of symmetry
Hint:
We are asked the number of lines of symmetry of rectangle and square. Line of symmetry means when we divide the figure along the line, the parts overlap each other. The parts are symmetrical to each other.
The correct answer is: an unequal number of lines of symmetry
Let’s see both the shapes one by one
1) Square
The line of symmetry can be vertical and horizontal. So, they are two lines.
The line of symmetry can be a diagonal. There are two diagonals. So, two lines of symmetry.
In total, there are 4 lines of symmetry
2) Rectangle
The line of symmetry can be vertical and horizontal. So, they are two lines.
It is not symmetrical along diagonals.
So, there are two lines of symmetry.
Both have unequal number of symmetric lines.
So, option “an unequal number of lines of symmetry”, is the right option.
For such questions, we should know the lines of symmetry of different figures.
For such questions, we should know the concept of symmetry.
