Question

Identify the symmetry.

O Reflection symmetry
O Rotational symmetry
O Both
O None of the above

Answer 1

Reflection symmetry

Explanation:

For an image to have reflection symmetry, it must appear the same after reflected over any line. In this case, there is a vertical line of symmetry we can reflect the image and not appear to have made any changes.

For an image to rotational symmetry, it needs to appear the same after being rotated some degree in either direction less than one full turn. In this case, there exists no rotation less than one full turn where we can rotate the image so it appears the exact same as it was before.

Therefore, this image only has reflection symmetry.
