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 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.
a cross
Two trapezoids
they are the same
Something that you can fold and its equal....

This is a octagonA octagon has 8 sides and 8 corners.1 face and 8 lines of symmetry.* * * * *An octagon need not have any lines of symmetry.
Unless the rectangle is a square, it only has two lines of symmetry. Please refer to the Related Link below to see diagrams of both rectangles and squares with lines of symmetry drawn. The images are near the bottom of the page.
