How many lines of symmetry does a cup have?

It has one: a vertical plane which slices the handle in half.


How many lines of symmetry does LINES have?

If the question refers to a single completely geometrically straight line of finite length in a plane, then a straight line will have two lines of symmetry. One symmetry line is perpendicular to the line being discussed and one symmetry line coincides with the line being discussed. The symmetry operation here is the one where every point of the figure is flipped perpendicularly across the symmetry line and the object is symmetric if that flipping produced exactly the same set of points. (Said differently, if flipping the set of points through a line produced an exact replica of the original set of points, then the like determining the flip is a symmetry line.) One level of complication occurs if the straight line which is the subject of the symmetry question is an infinitely long straight line. In such a case one symmetry line still coincides with the actual line, but all lines that are perpendicular to the straight line will be lines of symmetry. Thus, an infinitely long straight line has no single point as its "middle" and has an infinitely many symmetry lines consisting of all possible lines perpendicular to the original line.


What plane figure has one horizontal symmetry and one vertical line of symmetry and has rotational symmetry?

A rectangle is a possible candidate, as is an ellipse.


Do tiger have symmetry?

Yes. Tigers have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means something has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

How many lines of rotation of symmetry does a square have?

Rotational symmetry refers to symmetry of the figure when it is rotated about a single point in the same plane. Lines of symmetry apply to reflections. You do not have lines of rotational symmetry.

How many lines of symmetry does a chicken have?

At a very detailed level, none since it has one asymmetrically located heart. Superficially it has one plane of symmetry and so any one of the infinitely many lines in that plane will be a line of symmetry.


How many plans of symmetry does a triangular prism have?

It could have just one - a plane (not plan!) parallel to its bases and halfway between them.


What are horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry?

A line which divides a body into two parts, such that each part is the mirror image of the others, then the line is called a line of symmetry. If such a line is parallel to the horizontal plane, then it is called a horizontal line of symmetry. Else, if the line of symmetry is perpendicular to the horizontal plane then it is a vertical line of symmetry.


How many lines of symmetry does a hexagonal prism have?

Regular polygons have lines of symmetry equal to the number of sides/angles that they possess so a hexagon would have 6 lines of symmetry. (: * * * * * However, the question is not about a polygon but a polyhedron! A prism with regual hexagonal bases has six lines of symmetry at the bases, but it also has a line of symmetry along the centre of its length. Furthermore, there are infinitely many lines of symmetry in the plane that divides it halfway along its length.
