Question

1. Which figure has reflection symmetry?

2. Select all the polygons that have reflection symmetry.

Answer 1

1. Option C

2. Option A and Option D.

Explanation:

Reflective symmetry:

If a figure is reflected across a line such that the reflected figure is exactly the same as the original and the same distance from the line, then the line is called axis of symmetry.

If a figure has at least one line of symmetry, then the figure has Reflective symmetry.

In part 1, only figure C has horizontal axis of symmetry. Therefore the correct option is C.

In part 2, figure A and D have vertical axis of symmetry. Therefore the correct options are AD.

Answer 2

1. Figure C has reflection symmetry.

2. A and D have reflection symmetry.

Explanation:

1. When you cut the arrow horizontally, you get the same shape on each side.

2. When you divide them, you should have symmetry, meaning they are the same when divided/cut.
