No line of symmetry because when you fold them, they don't match up

imagine if you folded a piece of paper in half, then unfolded the piece of paper.

there would be a line down the middle, and you would have two sections on the piece of paper.

that line could be considered a "line of symmetry" that divides the paper perfectly in two.

You could fold the paper in half horizontally, vertically, or you could do it many times over. (try getting a piece of paper to see what i mean this should make sense).

Now, with the shape you posted earlier - there is NO symmetry. you can't fold it anywhere, and have all sides match up evenly.

There's only one arrow, so when you fold on a so-called line of symmetry, what would the arrow match up with?
