Both point and line symmetry because a square has both line symmetry and point symmetry, by the definitions of "regular quadrilateral", "line symmetry", and "point symmetry".

Answer: Line symmetry , point symmetry and rotational symmetry.

Explanation:

We know that a regular polygon has all the sides equal.

A square is a regular quadrilateral which has four equal sides and angles.

There are 3 kinds of symmetry and square has all of them :

  1. Linear symmetry : It has 4 lines of symmetry. [ 2 diagonals and 2 lines meeting the mid-point of opposite sides. ]
  2. Point symmetry : It has point symmetry at the point of intersection of diagonal.
  3. Rotational symmetry : It has rotational symmetry of order 4. [ At 90°, 180°, 270°, 360°]
