Question

Determine the number of lines of symmetry for the letter “E.” Then determine whether the figure has point of symmetry.

a. 2; no
b. 1; no
c. infinite; yes
d. 2; yes

Answer 1

which line or lines will cut an E into 2 equal parts?

Answer 2

a line of symmetry means you can fold it exactly onto itself...

can you fold E to get 2 identical halves..?

Answer 3

I thought just one? But I don't understand the last part, I guess.

Answer 4

That's good

point symmetry... so to do with every point on the shape being the same distance from a fixed point

here is a nice definition and example
