Question

Match the shapes mentioned with the number of lines of symmetry they exhibit.
$$\begin{array}{cc}Shapes& \text{Lines of Symmetry}\\ \text{(a) Equilateral triangle}& \text{(i) 2}\\ \text{(b) Square}& \text{(ii) 3}\\ \text{(c) Circle}& \text{(iii) 4}\\ \text{(d) Rectangle}& \text{(iv) Infinte}\\ \text{(e) Regular Pentagon}& \text{(v) 5}\end{array}$$

• A. (a)-ii, (b)-iii, (c)-iv, (d)-i, (e)-v
• B. (a)-iii, (b)-ii, (c)-i,(d)-iv,(e)-v
• C. (a)-ii, (b)-iii, (c)-i,(d)-iv,(e)-v
• D. (a)-v, (b)-iii, (c)-iv,(d)-ii,(e)-i

Answer 1

The correct option is A

(a)-ii, (b)-iii, (c)-iv, (d)-i, (e)-v

The line of symmetry is the imaginary line where we divide a figure into two equal halves that are the mirror images of each other.

Equilateral triangle: 2 lines of symmetry
Square: 4 lines of symmetry
Circle: Infinite lines of symmetry
Rectangle: 2 lines of symmetry
Pentagon: 5 lines of symmetry

The lines of symmetry of the given shapes are as follows:
