Chapter SR16, Problem 5P

Solution

Tell how many lines of symmetry the figure has.

No lines of symmetry.

Given:

A parallelogram.

  

Concept Used:

• The imaginary line or axis along which you can fold a figure to obtain the symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry.
• It is also termed as the axis of symmetry.
• The line symmetry is also called a mirror line because it presents two reflections of an image that coincide.

Calculation:

The given parallelogram is -

  

The parallelogram has no lines of symmetry because its opposite or facing sides are of equal length and its opposite angles are of equal measurement.

So, No lines of symmetry.
