How many lines of symmetry does this figure have?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

attachment?

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i can't see any attachment either?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

oh man i hate when user attach docs just snapshot the thing and post it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be the 2nd answer

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

do not just give answers

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Don't provide direct answers @SkaterBoyShawn Basically, this question is asking you how many times you can fold the figure perfectly in halves.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i though tit was 4 lines of syemtry

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

first let's understand what does line of symmetry to an object?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

|dw:1433289397901:dw|

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm actually 4 seems good to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so you could split the object up and down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

|dw:1433289474760:dw| those are your two first lines of symmetry

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

so basicallly line of symmetry cuts the object into identical mirror images

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

|dw:1433289507874:dw| and you can do it twice diagonally

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

and what @xapproachesinfinity said is correct. If you can reflect the images perfectly along the line of symmetry, then the line of symmetry is valid

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

so 4 seems like a reasonable answer

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

well i guess @Jamierox4ev3r is doing great explaining this i let him/her explain it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4 is the naswer

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

4 lines of symmetry, yes

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

@princess1990 challenge how many this figure has |dw:1433289667240:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no answer never mind

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

Hint: All sides are equal

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

again just imagine that shape as piece of paper and you can tie it play with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm close you missed one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

since all sides are equal you can have 3 line of symmetry

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

yes! it is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A quadrilateral has angles that measure 125°, 115°, and 65°. What is the measure of the fourth angle?
