Question

The line which divides the figure into two equal parts is called the line of symmetry or axis of symmetry.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

• A figure is said to have a line of symmetry or linear symmetry if there exists a line which divides the figure into two identical halves such that they coincide when folded along this line.

For example, the following figure shows an isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC. Here, the line of symmetry is shown by the dotted line passing through the vertex A.
