Does the number of equal sides in a shape equal the number of lines of symmetry?
No. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides but only one line of symmetry.
How many lines of symmetry does it have?
Regular Shape: A Regular shape has the same amount of symmetry as how many sides it has.
What 2d shape has 5 sides all equal angles and no lines of symmetry?
There is no such shape. A 2d shape with 5 sides and all equal angles must be a regular pentagon (or a 5-pointed star if you stretch the definition of "all angles"). And a regular pentagon - or star - has 5 lines of symmetry.
What is the order of rotational symmetry for a regular hexagon?
The order of rotational symmetry for a shape is the number of times that it can be rotated so that it appears the same without rotation (e.g. if you rotate an equilateral triangle 60o clockwise it looks the same).For regular polygons, the order of rotational symmetry for the shape is the number of sides that it has. A hexagon has 6 sides so has order of rotational symmetry 6.
Is an octagon regular or an irregular shape?
The Octagon is a regular shape if all the sides and all of the interior angle s are equal. If the sides and or angles are different the shape is irregular. However, even irregular octagons can have an axis of symmetry.
What shape has seven lines of symmetry?
A regular heptagon.
Are the lines of symertry of a regular shape the same as the number of sides?
Yes, as for example a square has 4 lines of symmetry
Does a heptagon have reflection symmetry?
Unit 15 Section 3 : SymmetrySymmetries in regular polygons (http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mepres/book8/bk8i15/bk8_15i3.htm)Look at the regular heptagon below. A heptagon is a shape with seven sides and this one has equal sides and equal angles. You can see that there are seven lines of symmetry, and the regular heptagon also has rotational symmetry order seven.
What shape has 6 lines of symmetry?
A hexagon is the simplest shape, and the only regular polygon, with 6 lines of symmetry.
Does a shape have to be a regular polygon in order to have rotational symmetry?
A line segment would have rotational symmetry.
Which shape has 0 lines of symmetry?
an circle and shapes that are not regular dumhead
Is there a shape with six sides that has no lines of symmetry?
Yes, most (non-regular) hexagons do not have lines of symmetry.
