(b) exactly two lines of symmetry?
(c) exactly three lines of symmetry?
(d) no lings of symmetry?
Sketch a rough figure in each case.
Solution:
(a) Yes, Isosceles right angled triangle has exactly one line of symmetry.
(b) No, we cannot draw any triangle with two symmetric lines.
(c) Yes, equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry.
(d) Yes, Scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry
Ex 13.2 Class 6 Maths Question 5.
On a squared paper, sketch the following:
(а) A triangle with a horizontal line of symmetry but no vertical line of symmetry.
(b) A quadrilateral with both horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry.
(c) A quadrilateral with a horizontal line of symmetry but no vertical line of symmetry.
(d) A hexagon with exactly two lines of symmetry.
(e) A hexagon with six lines of symmetry. (Hint: It will be helpful if you first draw the lines of symmetry and then complete the figures)
Solution:
(a) The figure shows an isosceles triangle with horizontal line of symmetry.
(b) Rectangle (quadrilateral) shows both the horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry.
(c) Trapezium (quadrilateral) shows the horizontal but no vertical line of symmetry.
(d) The hexagon drawn below shows only two lines of symmetry.
(e) The regular hexagon shows the six lines of symmetry.
