What is the rule for the number lines of symmetry of any regular polygon?
Number of lines of symmetry = Number of sides of the regular polygon
How many lines of symmetry would a 10-sided regular polygon have?
10 lines. Regular polygon of "x" sides has "x" Lines of Symmetry
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.
What are the attributes of a polygon?
A polygon has sides A polygon can have any number of side A polygon can not be curved so a circle is not a polygon Regular Polygon Has congruent sides and angles Has lines of symmetry Irregular Polygon Doesn't have any equal sides or angles Doesn't have any lines of symmetry
How many lines of symmetry does a regular polygon have?
A regular polygon has a number of lines of symmetry equal to the number of its sides. For example, a regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry, while a regular hexagon has 6. Each line of symmetry divides the polygon into two congruent halves, reflecting the shape across the line.
