Figures with Multiple Lines of Symmetry
Figures With Multiple Line Symmetry
Multiple Line of Symmetry :
A figure in which more than two lines divide it into two identical parts such that when folded along those lines one part of the figure superimposes the other part is said to have multiple lines of symmetry.
Now let us consider the case of figure which have more that two lines of symmetry. A shape can have more than two line of symmetry. For example a rectangle has two lines of symmetry, an equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry, and a square has four. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry since it can be folded about any diameter.
Activity:
Now let us perform an activity to show that square has multiple lines of symmetry.
Step 1: Let us take a square piece of paper.
Step 2: Fold it into half vertically This shows one line of symmetry
Step 3: Then fold it into half horizontally This shows second line of symmetry
Step 4: Now, fold the paper into half along a diagonal . This diagonal shows third line of symmetry
Step 5: Open it and fold it into half along the other diagonal . This diagonal shows fourth line of symmetry.
Thus from the activity we find that a square has horizontal line of symmetry, Vertical line of symmetry and two more lines of symmetry one along each diagonal . Thus, a square has four lines of symmetry as shown below:

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
