How many lines of symmetry are there on a regular octagon?

8. 4 between the opposite vertices 4 between the mid points of opposite sides.


Why is the axis of symmetry halfway between two points on the parabola that have the same y-value?

The axis of symmetry is a line where if you were to fold the graph in half on that line, every point should perfectly match up with it's opposite.


Lines of symmetry for a rectangle?

There are only two lines of symmetry. Divide either of the two opposite sides of the rectangle in half and join these two points.


What is the linear relationship between number of sides and number of lines of symmetry?

If you're talking about convex polygons with equal sides (eg. equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, etc.), then the relationship is a very direct one. In those cases, there are as many lines of symmetry as there are points in the polygons. A triangle has three lines of symmetry, a square has four, a pentagon five, etc.


How many lines of symmetry does a polygon has?

A polygon need not have any lines of symmetry. The maximum number of lines of symmetry is attained if the polygon is regular; and this is the number of sides (or vertices) of the polygon. If a regular polygon has an even number of sides, then the lines of symmetry are those joining opposite vertices, and those joining the mid-points of opposite sides. If the polygon has an odd number of sides/vertices, the lines of symmetry are those joining each vertex to the mid-point of the opposite side.


How many lines of symmetry does a 6 point star have?

Assuming it is regular, there should be 6 lines of symmetry, three running from a tip to the tip opposite it, and three through the points that the tips meet.


How many lines of symmetry does a regular octagon have?

It has 8. Each passes through the centre. Four pass through vertices, four pass through the mid-points of opposite sides. 4


How do you write an equation that represents points in a table?

The answer depends on what relationship - if any - exists between the points in the table. There need not be any relationship.


Has a star got a line of symmetry?

It can have as many lines of symmetry as it has points.


Does a rectangular prism have plane symmetry or symmetry about an axis?

I believe it has both. If you draw planes through the middle of opposite sides e.g. top/bottom, left side/right side, front/back, you will get three planes of (refection) symmetry. Also if you draw three lines through those same points, you will get three axes of (rotational) symmetry.


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.
