A general parallelogram is a geometric figure which does not have any line of symmetry. It, however, has an order of rotational symmetry of 2 as we get the same figure when it's rotated by 180 or 360.
For example, if we rotate the following figure by 180, we will still get an identical figure, hence it has an order of rotational symmetry as 2.

For a parallelogram, the area is given by  Base x Height
According to question, Base = 6m and Height = 4m
Area = 6×4 = 24m2

Figures with order of symmetry 4: 1 Mark
Figures with order of symmetry 3: 1 Mark
Figures with order of symmetry 2: 1 Mark
Figures with order of symmetry 1: 1 Mark
Figures (a) and (f) will look the same if rotated by 90o, 180o, 270o or 360o. Hence, they have an order of 4.
Figures (b) and (e) will look the same if rotated by 120o, 240o or 360o. Their order of rotational symmetry will thus be 3.
If we rotate figure (d) by 180o or 360o, we will get the same figure. Hence, it has an order of 2.
But option (c) has an order of only 1 since the same figure can be obtained if the figure is rotated by 360o.

Question 85.


(i) What letters of the English alphabet have reflection symmetry about:
     a) A Vertical mirror
     b) A Horizontal mirror  
(ii)  <Two friends arguing>

Suraj: If a figure can be folded along any line such that one half superimposes the other, it is known as a symmetric figure.


Ravi: If you can find a line in the figure which divides it into identical parts, then the figure is always symmetric.
Who is correct?

(ii)  If a figure can be folded along any line such that one half superimposes or aligns exactly with the other, it is known as a symmetric figure. For e.g. If you take a square and fold it across the line shown, part 1 exactly overlaps on part 2. So, the square is a symmetric figure.

On the other hand, in a parallelogram, the diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles (can be proven using SSS congruence condition), i.e. into two equal parts. But those parts don’t superimpose each other when folded across diagonal (as shown in the figure). So, the parallelogram is not symmetric.

Hence, Suraj is right and Ravi is wrong.

Question 88.


A figure with an angle of rotation as 17 has rotational symmetry of order more than 1. Is this statement correct or not and why? [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Statement: 1 Marks​​​​​​
Reason: 1 Mark
The statement is not correct because 36017 is not a natural number, a figure can not have an angle of rotation as 17.


Question 89.


Given that the perimeter of a polygon is 92m and its area is 529m2. Its adjacent sides are equal and perpendicular. Find the number of lines of symmetry.

:

Process: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
The given polygon is square.


Perimeter 4a = 92


                a = 23 m


 Area = a2 = 529 m2


Hence the above polygon is a square and a square has 4 lines of symmetry. 


Question 90.


Which of the following letters have vertical symmetry? Explain with reason.  [2 MARKS]
A, C, E, H, S, V, Z


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Answer: 1 Mark
Reason: 1 Mark
Among the following letters only  A, H and V have vertical symmetry.
A, H and V  will look identical if we look at their images formed by a vertical mirror but the rest of the given letters won't.
