Solution
Each part: 1 Mark
(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) A regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry.
