Show three lines of symmetry?

If your asking what shape has three lines of symmetry, your answer would be an equilateral triangle. You can tell how many lines of symmetry a shape that has all angles of the same measure has by looking at it's angles. Ex., pentagon has five angles--five lines of symmetry; octagon has eight angles, eight lines of symmetry; etc.

How many symmetry lines does a hexagonal pyramid have?

There is, as far as I can tell, only one "line" of symmetry: the sixfold rotational axis passing through the vertex and the center of the base. In addition, there are six planes of symmetry; three that pass through opposite vertices of the hexagon and three that pass through the midpoints of the sides of the hexagon. For any pyramid in which the base is a regular polygon with n sides and the apex is above the centre of the polygon, there are nplanes of symmetry (for an even-sided polygon, half the planes pass through opposite vertices and half of them pass through the midpoints of opposite sides; for an odd-sided polygon, each plane passes through one vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side). A hexagon has six sides, so it has six planes of symmetry.

You turn it a quarter to see if it still has a line of symmetry.


How can you tell using the corner of a sheet that a hexagon has obtuse angles?

The corner of a normal sheet of paper is 90 degrees. So an angle of the hexagon is obtuse if you can put the corner of the sheet on a vertex of the hexagon and the angle of the hexagon is bigger.
