Question

Which statement best describes an axis of symmetry for this regular hexagonal pyramid? The axis passes through the vertex and through the center of the base. The axis passes through two consecutive triangular faces of the pyramid. The axis passes through two non-consecutive triangular faces of the pyramid. The axis passes through one triangular face of the pyramid and through the base.

Answer 1

the axis passes through the vertex and through the center of the base.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Axis of symmetry is a line through a shape so that each side is a mirror image. For this problem this is: the axis passes through the vertex and through the center of the base.

If you cut off the hexagonal pyramid through a plane that contain the axis and then the shape is folded in half along the axis of symmetry, then the two halves match up again.
