Question

Statement 1: All regular polygons have multiline symmetry.

Statement 2: No irregular polygon can have multiline 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 multiline symmetry.

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

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

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