How many uppercase letters have two or more lines of symmetry?

the answer is U O S H K Z X N A D=2 0R MORE LINES OF SYMMETRY


Does the letter S have any lines of symmetry?

No. Because no matter which way u try to fold it it won't be symmetrical at all.


Does the letter s have a line of symmetry?

No, but it looks like it. Actually the leter S does have a line of symmetry. Not vertically but horizontally. See, S.


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.

How many line of symmetry does a regular polygon with x sides have?

A regular polygon with x sides has x lines of symmetry. Each line of symmetry passes through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. For example, a regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry, one for each pair of opposite sides. The formula for calculating the number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides x.


Does S have lines of symmetry?

Not normally. but you should check for rotative

Does e or s have line of symmetry?

A line of symmetry means that when you fold it in half that everything lines up perfectly. If you took the letter E and folded it in half sideways, does it line up perfectly? No. If you took an S and lined it up perfectly, does it over lap? Yes. Neither E nor S have a line of symmetry.


Does the letter s have a line of symmetry?

No, but it looks like it. Actually the leter S does have a line of symmetry. Not vertically but horizontally. See, S.
