Question

Statement 1: All regular polygons have multi line symmetry.

Statement 2: No irregular polygon can have multi line symmetry.

• A. Both the statements are true
• B. Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false
• C. Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true
• D. Both the statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false

The regular polygon with minimum number of sides is equilateral triangle. It has 3 lines of symmetry. Hence, it has multi line symmetry.

Also, all the regular polygons have as many lines of symmetry as the number of sides. So, this means all the other regular polygons will have more than 3 lines of symmetry. So, they all have multi line symmetry.

But irregular polygons can also have multi line symmetry. Such an example is shown in the figure.

So, statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
