Question

Identify the shape given below. Check whether it is symmetric or not. Draw the line of symmetry as well.

Answer 1

Step 1: Identify the shape

The given shape is,

It has the shape of the letter D.

Step 2: Check symmetry and draw the line of symmetry

A shape is said to be symmetric if it can be divided into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other. The line that divides the figure into two identical halves is called the line of symmetry

The given shape is a symmetrical shape. Its line of symmetry is shown below as the dotted line,

Therefore, the shape is that of the letter D and it is symmetrical.
