Question

Draw, wherever possible, a rough sketch of 

1.  a triangle with both line and rotational symmetries of order more than 1. 
2.  a triangle with only line symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1. 
3.  a quadrilateral with a rotational symmetry of order more than 1 but not a line symmetry. 
4.  a quadrilateral with line symmetry but not a rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

Answer 1

(i) Equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 3.

(ii) Isosceles triangle has only 1 line of symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1.

(iii) A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has no line of symmetry but a rotational symmetry of order 2.

(iv)A kite is a quadrilateral which has only 1 line of symmetry and no rotational symmetry of order more than 1.
