How many line of symmetry does a cube has?

Answer 1

2 lines of symmetry

A cube only has 12 lines or planes of symmetry (number of "cuts" you can cut, remember it has to be symmetrical), because it is a 3d solid shape. if you asked about a square, it would certainly be 4 lines of symmetry.

There in total 6 surfaces in a cube:front, back, left, right, top and bottom.

As you know, when you cut one surface, the opposite also gets cut (eg:one cut in front, back also gets cut), so you could say that you only get to cut 3 surfaces because if you cut more, it would be repeated...

there is 4 cuts in each surface(2 diagonally, 1 vertically and 1 horizontally)

so, 4+4+4=12

so, a cube has 12 planes or lines of symmetry
