How many lines of symmetry does a water melon have?

It depends on the shape of the water melon, round, oval, etc. If it was oval there would probably only be 2 lines of symmetry - top to bottom and left to right. You can't go diagonal because it wouldn't be even. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. Any chord of the circle that passes through its center will be line of symmetry. And there are an infinite number of lines that can be drawn through the center of the circle. So if the water melon was a circle it would have an infinite amount of symmetry lines. Hope it helps!! :)


What shapes don't have lines of symmetry besides circles and ovals?

Circles and Ovals DO have lines of symmetry: a circle has an infinite number of them (each is a diameter of the circle) and an oval (ellipse) has two (one along the major axis, one along the minor axis). Shapes which have no lines of symmetry are irregular ones, eg scalene triangles, along with most parallelograms (ie parallelograms which are not rhombuses) and non-isosceles trapezia. Some irregular shapes can have lines of symmetry, eg irregular octagons can have 1, 2 or 4 lines of symmetry as well as no lines of symmetry, unlike a regular octagon which [always] has 8 lines of symmetry.


What are lines of semmetry?

If you canfold something in half and the two sides are identical then the fold is a line of symmetry. A circle has an infinite lines of symmetry because you can fold it in infinite places and it will always be the same. An oval has two - you can fold it the long way or the short way.

Can a figure have line symmetry and not rotational symmetry?

Yes. An ellipse (oval) has two lines of symmetry, but not a rotational symmetry. A parabola has one line and no rotation.
