Worksheet Overview

A line of symmetry divides a shape into two matching parts, which will overlap each other exactly when folded along the line of symmetry.

 

Look at this regular hexagon.

 

a regular hexagon

 

When we reflect or fold it in the line a, we get:

 

 

This is a match!

 

When we reflect it in the line b, we get:

 

 

This is not a match!

 

When we reflect it in the line c, we get:

 

 

This is a match!

 

When we reflect it in the line d, we get:

 

This is a match!

 

So lines a, c and d are lines of symmetry.

 

Of course, a regular hexagon has a total of 6 lines of symmetry, but not all of them were shown.
