SYMMETRY MCQs
:
A
Point symmetry occurs when there exists a position or a central point on an object such that central point splits the object or shape into two parts, every part on each has a matching part on the other that is the same distance from the central point and both parts face different directions. The alphabets 'X', 'V' and 'M' exhibit point symmetry and are depicted as follows.
Sonali's best friend name starts with the letter 'H'. She was working out the lines of symmetry in 'H'. Which of the following statements for letter H is/are correct.
Statement 1: It has only a horizontal line of symmetry.
Statement 2: It has only a vertical line of symmetry.
Statement 3: It has both a horizontal and a vertical line of symmetry.
Statement 4: It is asymmetrical.
:
C
The given figure is a square and XY is the line of symmetry.
Hence, AX=BX=2 cm.
Therefore,AB=AX+BX
=2cm+2cm
=4cm
Since the length of one side is given we can determine its area enclosed by the formula Side x Side.
∴ The area of the square =4×4
=16 cm2

C
The manner in which "ambulance "is written is actually the mirror image of the word. This, when viewed in a rear view mirror appears straight in the manner we read. Therefore making it easier for ambulance to be identified and make its way in traffic.
:
A
The front and back of a car are different from each other in many aspects.
Given below is a list of statements explaining the symmetry of letters from A-Z. Choose the correct option with reference to these statements.
Statement 1: All letters are symmetrical.
Statement 2: All letters have vertical line of symmetry.
Statement 3: All letters have horizontal line of symmetry.
Statement 4: All letters are asymmetrical.
:
D
Out of 26 letters some are symmetrical while some are not symmetrical. Among the symmetrical letters some have vertical while some have horizontal lines of symmetry.
:
B
Since AD is the line of symmetry, the part of the figure to the right of this line is the reflection of the part of the figure to the left of it.
∴AB=AE=5cm and CA=FA=7 cm.
Hence,
EF=FA−AE
EF=7−5=2 cm
:
C
All the parts of the car mentioned in the options are asymmetric. Even the right lower and left lower half because of the presence of the steering wheel in the left lower side.
:
If a figure is equally balanced in proportion then it said to be symmetrical.
