(i) only one line of symmetry. How many such quadrilaterals are there?
(ii) its diagonals as the only lines of symmetry.
(iii) two lines of symmetry other than diagonals
(iv) more than two lines of symmetry.

#### Question 6:

#### Question 8:

On squared paper copy the triangle in each of the following figures. In each case draw the line(s) of symmetry if any and identify the type of the triangle.

(i) This is an Isosceles triangle because it has only one line of symmetry.
(ii) This is an Equilateral triangle because it has three lines of symmetry.
(iii) This is a Right angled triangle because it has no line of symmetry.
(iv) This is an Isosceles triangle because it has only one line of symmetry.

#### Question 9:

Find the lines of symmetry for each of the following:

#### Question 10:

State whether the following statements are true of false:

(i) A right-angled triangle can have at most one line of symmetry.
(ii) An isosceles triangle with more than one line of symmetry must be an equilateral triangle.
(iii) A pentagon with one line of symmetry can be drawn.
(iv) A pentagon with more than one line of symmetry must be regular.
(v) A hexagon with one line of symmetry can be drawn.
(vi) a hexagon with more than two lines of symmetry must be regular.

(i) True
If it is an Isosceles right-angled triangle, then it can have only one line of symmetry at the most. Otherwise, a right-angled triangle has no line of symmetry.

(ii) True

If an Isosceles triangle has more than one line of symmetry, then it must be an Equilateral triangle.
This is because an Equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry, and a triangle other than that cannot have two lines of symmetry.

Isosceles triangle                                                        Equilateral triangle

(iii) True

(iv) True

(v) True

(vi) True
