How many lines of symmetry does a hexagon?
A hexagon need not have any lines of symmetry. Or, it can have just one line of symmetry. A regular hexagon has six lines of symmetry, including three along the lines bisecting the angles and three along the lines formed by bisecting the sides. A regular hexagon has a rotational order of 6.
What shape has 1 pair of equal sides and 2 pairs of equal adjacent sides?
It could be an irregular hexagon: for example, a regular hexagon that has been stretched along one diagonal.It could be an irregular hexagon.
What has a single line of symmetry?
There could be many answers to this. If were thinking in terms of geometry: a triangle has between 1 and 3 lines of symmetry a square will always have 4 lines of symmetry. Irregular shapes might have a single line of symmetry. For instance, a building may have a single line of symmetry. a line between two points may only have one line of symmetry. because it is only 2 dimensions, it is impossible for it to have more than one line of symmetry.
How does a hexagon with 1 line of symmetry look like?
It is difficult to illustrate the answer but I'll try a description. Start with a regular hexagon. All sides equal, all angles equal, six lines of symmetry. Squash the top down so that the middle vertices spread outwards. You will now have a shape with two lines of symmetry: one horizontal: halfway up the hexagon and one vertical: halfway across. Now take a chunk out of the middle of the top (or bottom, but not both) side and re-join the ends. That will get rid of the horizontal line of symmetry and all you are left with is the one vertical line.
How amny parallel sides does a hexagon have?
A regular hexagon has three pairs of parallel sides. An irregular hexagon can have two, one or none.

What does a hexagon with one line of symmetry and two reflex angles look like?
Two trapezoids
Is there such thing as an irregular hexagon with symmetry?
Yes, a regular hexagon has ALL sides the same length and ALL angles equal. If you flatten it somewhat (like the profile of a lens) then the sides may still have the same length but some angles will be larger than others if opposite angles are the same than there will be symmetry. (there are many other options to retain symmetry in a hexagon this is but one)
Is an oval an irregular shape?
No.It is regular because it has at least one line of symmetry

What is a hexagon shape with one pair of perpendicular sides?
An irregular hexagon.

Can an irregular hexagon have an odd number of lines of symmetry?
Yes. Since it is irregular, it could have 5 identical halves. * * * * * No it cannot have 5 identical halves. If it has 5 then the sixth must also be equal to one of the others. You can have 0 to 4, or 6 but NOT 5,
How amny parallel sides does a hexagon have?
A regular hexagon has three pairs of parallel sides. An irregular hexagon can have two, one or none.
How many congruent sides does a hexagon have?
Every hexagon has six sides. That's what the "hex" in hexagon means. Every polygon comes in two flavors and the hexagon can be either one of them ... 'regular' or 'irregular'. If the hexagon is a regular one, then all six of its sides are congruent. If the hexagon is an irregular one, then 2, 3, 4, 5, or none of its sides may be congruent.
