What kinds of symmetry do an equilateral and an isosceles triangle have?
An equilateral triangle has six symmetries, and an isosceles triangle has two. An isosceles triangle has a single axis of symmetry, the perpendicular bisector of the non-congruent side. This is a reflection symmetry. An equilateral triangle has rotational symmetry as well as reflection symmetry. It is invariant under rotations by 120 degrees.

How many rotational lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
Rotational symmetry is based on points of rotation not lines
How many of symmetry does an equilateral triangle?

How many lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
Does an equilateral triangle have any rotational symmetry?
An equilateral triangle has rotational symmetry (order 3).
What triangle does have turn symmetry?
It is an equilateral triangle which has rotational symmetry
Does a triangle have a line symmetry rotational symmetry or both?
An equilateral triangle has both line symmetry and rotational symmetry. A non-equilateral isosceles triangle has line symmetry but not rotational symmetry. A scalene triangle has neither kind of symmetry.
How many axes of symmetry has a equilateral triangle?
For an equilateral triangle, there are three axes of symmetry. A plane figure is symmetrical about the line l if, whenever P is a point of the figure, so too is P', where P' is the mirror-image of P in the line l. The line is called a line of symmetry (or axis of symmetry), and the figure is said to be a symmetrical by the reflection in the line l. An equilateral triangle with reflection symmetry has two halves that are mirror images of each other. If the shape is folded over its line of symmetry, the two halves of the shape match exactly. So, we can say that the two halves of an equilateral triangle are matched exactly only when its shape is folded over the lines of symmetry that passes through their vertixes and the midpoint of its sides. Thus, an equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry, and three angles of rotation. If you rotate any shape a full turn, it will look like it did before you rotated it. When you rotate a shape less than a full turn about its center point and it looks exactly as it did before you rotated it, it has rotation symmetry. In an equilateral triangle there are three places in the rotation where the triangle will look exactly the same as its starting position. If we turn the triangle one third of a full turn (60 degrees), the vertex 1 will be at position 3, vertex 2 will be at position 1, and vertex 3 will be at position 2, and the triangle will look like its starting position.
