It is difficult to illustrate the answer but I'll try a description.
Start with a regular hexagon. All sides equal, all angles equal, six lines of symmetry.
Squash the top down so that the middle vertices spread outwards. You will now have a shape with two lines of symmetry: one horizontal: halfway up the hexagon and one vertical: halfway across.
Now take a chunk out of the middle of the top (or bottom, but not both) side and re-join the ends. That will get rid of the horizontal line of symmetry and all you are left with is the one vertical line.
a line of symmetry is the middle of a shape that is the same on both sides
Symmetry is dividing a shape or figure in a certain way so that both sides are the same. Usually the line of symmetry, the line separating the shape, is a straight line.
Answer:A line of symmetry will be a straight line usually down the middle of a figure. The line can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, as long as both sides of the line are mirrors of one another. Example: Ø In this circle, you can see the diagonal line through the circle, and both sides mirror one another, so the line in the circle is a line of symmetry.Answer:A line of symmetry is a line which can be drawn through something in a way that both sides are the same (and the object would look the same if reflected in a mirror)I'll draw a line of symmetry below as an example:.....|..../|\.../.|.\../..|..\./...|...\/....|....\.....|If you were to replace that line with a mirror, it would reflect one side and thus look like the triangle.Below is another example to help demonstrate what i mean by it being reflected, and both sides looking the same:.....|___..../|...../.../.|..../../..|..././...|..//....|./.....|This example is NOT a line of symmetry. If this were reflected in a mirror, it would look like a triangle, versus the shape it is.
a hexagon with a refle angle
A honeycomb looks like a hexagon. Its really hard to find objects that look like a hexagon though.I hope you find more Thx ;]

The regular hexagon's rotational symmetry order is six. This means that the hexagon can be turned 360 degrees and look the same six times. A hexagon is a six-sided figure with six lines of symmetry.
Symmetry is dividing a shape or figure in a certain way so that both sides are the same. Usually the line of symmetry, the line separating the shape, is a straight line.
The line of symmetry in a shape is found be looking at the sides of the shape. If you see that two sides look the same, try to draw a straight line through them. The line of symmetry acts like the dotted line in which you fold you paper. If you can fold the shape across the line of symmetry, and the shape is exactly the same on both sides then you have found A line of symmetry.
it has seven sides and must look like a regular hexagon
No. Look 7 the top and bottom are uneven lengths and no matter what angle you put the line of symmetry at, there will still be no proper symmetry line

a symetry looks like half of an object that is equal.like for example a butterfly, you draw a line in between it and, if the sides are equal it is a line of semetry.
It's just when you rotate a shape. Each time you rotate it, and it looks exactly like the shape you had before you started rotating, is one line of rotational symmetry.
