(a) The line of symmetry of an isosceles triangle is also known as median or altitude.
(b) Capital letters of English alphabet having no line of symmetry are F, G, J, L, N, P, Q, R, S and Z.

(a) If a fan has rotational symmetry of order 4, this means that the fan looks exactly as it was before the rotation at four instances. This can only happen when it has four blades.
(b) Square has both line and rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

No. of lines of symmetry: 1Â Marks
Diagram: 2 Marks
Any line which divides a diagram into two equal halves is called a line of symmetry. This line of symmetry divides the figure into two identical halves. If a random diagram has 7 such lines, it will have 7 lines of symmetry.
The most basic figure that would have 7 lines of symmetry would be a regular heptagon with all 7 sides equal. Such a figure will have 7 lines of symmetry.

(a) In order to identify the total number of lines of symmetry, we first have to identify the line through which we can fold the figure in such a way that two parts can overlap each other. Hence we find that this figure has five lines of symmetry.
(b) AÂ regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry.
