H

There are no lines of symmetry

There is one line of symmetry

There are four lines of symmetry

There are two lines of symmetry

Answer 1

figure?

Answer 2

The figure is the letter " H "

Answer 3

how do you know that?

Answer 4

i guess there is only one line of symmetry

Answer 5

H has 2 lines of symmetry.

Answer 6

umm.. its just the center line! the second one?

Answer 7

have heard people say it is the amount of time you can fold the figure.... and such like that

Answer 8

the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis.

Answer 9

huh.. parallel sides donot mean lines of symmetry..! its just one line of symmetry

Answer 10

so the answer would be, one line of symmetry?

Answer 11

The sides of "H" are equal do you see the 2 lines? The answer is 2

Answer 12

Okay so each line is a line of symmetry, they do not go in pairs then?

Answer 13

The 2 are made up exactly the same because the definition of (Symmetry) is the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis. Got it?

Answer 14

No, do you see the 2 sides of "H" those 2 particular lines are EXACTLY the same. So that mean it has 2 lines that are the same. Get it?

Answer 15

I think so now

Answer 16

For an example the letter X has to lines that are the same, understand now?

Answer 17

oh okay now i get it

Answer 18

Alright, good.

Answer 19

the same lines donot mean line of symmetry.. it means the line which dives the figure into two equal parts.. and we can see only 1 such line

Answer 20

@Kainui

No, "We" can't see one such line. You can also google what "Symmetry" means if you do not know the definition means.

Answer 22

i might be wrong so let us check @Mashy please help

Answer 23
