Question

A regular pentagon has ___ line(s) of symmetry.

Answer 1

A figure is said to have a line of symmetry or linear symmetry if there exists a line which divides the figure into two identical halves such that they coincide when folded along this line.

A 5-sided figure with all its sides and angles equal is called a regular pentagon.

( Note: A regular polygon of "n" sides has "n" lines of symmetry )

Therefore, a regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry.

Here, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are the lines of symmetry.
