5 pointed star? 6 pointed star(star of David)? A star in the sky? You need to provide more information. A 5 pointed star can have 5 lines of symmetry.

Does a circle have a line of semmetry?

Yes a star has one line of symmetry


How many line of symmetry does a star have?

five do the math But only if it is a 5-pointed star, not a 6-pointed star (like the star of David, for example). So doing the math requires counting the number of points in the star before getting to the put downs!


How many lines of symmetry does a 4 point star have?

Oh, dude, a 4-point star has 4 lines of symmetry. It's like looking in a mirror and seeing four perfect reflections of yourself, except you're a star. So, if you're ever feeling a bit asymmetrical, just remember, even stars have their symmetrical moments.


How many lines of symmetry does a 5 point star have?

A 5 point star has 5 lines of symmetry.


How do you sketch a figure with rotational symmetry but no line symmetry?

When a shape is rotated about its centre, if it comes to rest in a position and looks exactly like the original, then it has rotational symmetry. A shape like an equilateral triangle would therefore have an order of rotational symmetry of 3. The general rule for a regular polygon (shapes such as pentagons, heptagons, octagons etc. is, that the number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry, which is also the same as the rotational symmetry order). This means that a regular hexagon has 6 sides, 6 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 6. Following from this, then a square, which is a regular polygon, has 4 sides, 4 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 4. If a shape has rotational symmetry, it must have either line symmetry or point symmetry or both. For example, a five pointed star has 5 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 5, but does not have point symmetry. A parallelogram has no line of symmetry, but has rotational symmetry of order 2 and also point symmetry. Only a shape which has line symmetry or point symmetry can have rotational symmetry. When there is point symmetry and also rotational symmetry, the order of the latter is even. For example, the letter 'S' has rotational symmetry of order 2, the regular hexagon of order 6. On this basis, we would suggest that the letter 'F' does not have a rotational symmetry order as it does not have either line symmetry or point symmetry. It doesn't have a centre around which you could rotate it. Sounds weird, but given the definitions, we think this is the case.

Does a star have a line of symmetry?

No, a star does not have a line of symmetry. A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. Stars typically have an odd number of points, which prevents them from having a line of symmetry. Each point on a star is equidistant from the center, but the arrangement of the points does not allow for a line of symmetry.


Has a star got a line of symmetry?

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


Does a circle have a line of semmetry?

Does a star have a line symmetry?

If you draw a line right down the middle of it are both sides symmetrical then yes it does have line symmetry. If it doesn't have symmetry then it doesn't. But usually if it's a regular star it has line symmetry.


What type of symmetry does a 5 sides star have?

A star has bilateral symmetry, meaning that if you draw a line right down the middle of it, the two halves are mirror images of each other.
