Best Answer

Only equilateral triangles and some irregular polygons of (3n) sides have 3 lines of symmetry.

A regular polygon with n sides (or vertices) has n lines of symmetry. If n is even, there are n/2 lines of symmetry from vertex to opposite vertex and another n/2 from the middle of a side to the middle of the opposite side. If n is odd, there are n lines of symmetry from vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.
