Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B 6
If a polygon is regular, then the number of lines of symmetry equals the number of sides of the polygon.
A regular hexagon has 6 sides, and hence 6 lines of symmetry.
It is in this case that the polygon has maximum number of lines of symmetry. In other words, a irregular hexagon has less than 6 lines of symmetry.
