Question

Consider a regular pentagon. Mark the centre of Pentagon as O. Centre of the Pentagon is defined as a point which is equidistant from all the vertices. Hence, if a vertical line is drawn through O, perpendicular to the plane in which Pentagon is drawn, then the vertical line is called as a line of symmetry.
