Sign up nowIn the following figures, the mirror line (i.e., the line of symmetry) is given as a dotted line. Complete each figure performing reflection in the dotted (mirror) line. (You might perhaps place a mirror along the dotted line and look into the mirror for the image). Are you able to recall the name of the figure you complete?

Name any two figures that have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry.
Two figures that have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry are:
-
Equilateral Triangle:
- Line Symmetry: An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, each line reflecting through a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
- Rotational Symmetry: It has a rotational symmetry of order 3, meaning you can rotate it by 120 degrees (360 degrees divided by 3) around its center and it will still look the same.
-
Square:
- Line Symmetry: A square has 4 lines of symmetry. Two lines are drawn through the center, connecting opposite vertices (diagonals) and two more connecting the midpoints of opposite sides.
- Rotational Symmetry: It has a rotational symmetry of order 4. You can rotate a square by 90 degrees (360 degrees divided by 4), 180 degrees, or 270 degrees around its center and it will appear unchanged.
Draw, wherever possible, a rough sketch of
(i) a triangle with both line and rotational symmetries of order more than 1 .
(ii) a triangle with only line symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1 .
(iii) a quadrilateral with a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 but not a line symmetry.
(iv) a quadrilateral with line symmetry but not a rotational symmetry of order more than 1.
