Question

Which figure has only one line of symmetry to reflect across and carry it onto itself? (consider each figure a regular polygon)

A) Kite
B) Square
C) Rhombus
D) Octagon

Answer 1

Answer: A: Kite

Explanation: When you fold a kite it can carry the folded part onto itself. It’s able to reflect across the shape as well.

Answer 2

Option A.

Explanation:

Kite : In a kite, two pairs of adjacent sides are congruent. It has only one line of symmetry to reflect across and carry it onto itself.

Square : All 4 sides of a square are congruent and all interior angles are right angles. It has only 4 lines of symmetry

Rhombus : All 4 sides of a square are congruent and opposite angles are equal. It has only 2 lines of symmetry.

Octagon : All 8 sides of a regular octagon are congruent and it has 8 vertices. It has only 8 lines of symmetry.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
