Show answer
6
How many lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
Show answer
3
How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?
Show answer
2
What is the order of rotational symmetry of an equilateral triangle?
Show answer
3
Why can a triangle not have exactly two lines of symmetry?
Show answer
A triangle can have 0, 1, or 3 lines of symmetry, but not 2. Only an equilateral triangle has symmetry (with 3 lines); an isosceles triangle has 1 line; a scalene triangle has 0 lines.
A shape with rotational symmetry order 2 looks identical after a rotation of ? degrees.
Show answer
180
What is the minimum order of rotational symmetry for any shape?
Show answer
1 (meaning no rotational symmetry other than a full 360° rotation)
How many lines of symmetry does a square have?
