Solution

No. of lines of symmetry: 1 Marks
Diagram: 2 Marks

Any line which divides a diagram into two equal halves is called a line of symmetry. This line of symmetry divides the figure into two identical halves. If a random diagram has 7 such lines, it will have 7 lines of symmetry.

The most basic figure that would have 7 lines of symmetry would be a regular heptagon with all 7 sides equal. Such a figure will have 7 lines of symmetry.
