Unit 15 Section 3 : Symmetry

Symmetries in regular polygons (http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mepres/book8/bk8i15/bk8_15i3.htm)

Look at the regular heptagon below. A heptagon is a shape with seven sides and this one has equal sides and equal angles. You can see that there are seven lines of symmetry, and the regular heptagon also has rotational symmetry order seven.

Does a regular heptagon have reflection symmetry?

Yes.


How many lines of symmetry are there in a heptagon?

In a regular heptagon, there are 7 lines of symmetry because there is one line of symmetry for every side.


How many lines of symmetry does a regualar heptagon have?

It has 7 lines of symmetry


How many lines of symmetry for a heptagon?

A heptagon has seven sides, so a regular heptagon has seven lines of symmetry (they run from each vertex to the middle of the opposite side).


What is reflectional summetry?

Reflection symmetry, reflectional symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, or bilateral symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection


How many lines of reflection symmetry does the letter S have?

None - it has rotational symmetry - not reflection symmetry.


How many lines of symmetry does a heptogon?

A heptagon can have 0, 1 or 7 lines of symmetry.


How many symmetry lines in a heptagon?

A heptagon has seven sides, so it will have seven lines of symmetry. Each line of symmetry will pass through a vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. These lines divide the heptagon into mirror-image halves, making it symmetrical.


Does a heptagon have any lines of symmetry?

In general, no. But it can have 7.


What shape has seven lines of symmetry?

A regular heptagon.


How many lines of symmetry does an irregular heptagon have?

An irregular heptagon, also known as a seven-sided polygon, may have zero, one, or more lines of symmetry depending on its specific shape. In general, a heptagon can have up to seven lines of symmetry if it is a regular heptagon with all sides and angles equal. However, irregular heptagons have varying side lengths and angles, which can result in different numbers of lines of symmetry. To determine the exact number of lines of symmetry for a specific irregular heptagon, you would need to analyze its unique characteristics and geometric properties.


How many lines of symmetry and diagonals does a heptagon have?

A heptagon can have 7 lines of symmetry but it need not have any. It will have 7*(7-3)/2 = 7*4/2 = 14 diagonals.
