Question

Consider the letters of English alphabets, $\text{A to Z}$. List among them the letters which have vertical lines of symmetry (like $\text{A}$).

Answer 1

The axis of the shape which divides the shape into two identical halves, vertically, is called a vertical line of symmetry.

For example, the letter $A$ has a vertical line of symmetry.

Let's find out which letters of the English alphabet have a vertical line of symmetry:

$\text{A}$- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

$\text{B}$- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

$\mathrm{C}$- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

D- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

E- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

F- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

G- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

H- The vertical axis divides the letter into two equal halves.

I- The vertical axis divides the letter into two equal halves.

J- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

K- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

L- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

M- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

N- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

O- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

P- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

Q- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

R- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

S- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

T- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

U- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

V- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

W- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

X- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

Y- The vertical axis divides the letter into two identical halves.

Z- The vertical axis does not divide the letter into two identical halves.

Hence, the letters of the English alphabet having vertical lines of symmetry are$\text{A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y.}$
