An oval, or ellipse, has two lines of symmetry. One line runs horizontally through the center, dividing the oval into two equal halves, and the other runs vertically through the center, also bisecting the shape into symmetrical halves. These lines reflect the oval's balanced shape, ensuring that one side mirrors the other across each line. Unlike a circle, which has infinite lines of symmetry, an oval is limited to these two.

Does a lemon have infite lines of symmetry?

No, a lemon does not have infinite lines of symmetry. It is generally asymmetrical, having a more oval or elliptical shape with one end typically being slightly pointed. While it may have some lines of symmetry depending on its orientation, these are limited compared to shapes like circles or regular polygons, which have infinite lines of symmetry.


How many lines of symmetry does a water melon have?

It depends on the shape of the water melon, round, oval, etc. If it was oval there would probably only be 2 lines of symmetry - top to bottom and left to right. You can't go diagonal because it wouldn't be even. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. Any chord of the circle that passes through its center will be line of symmetry. And there are an infinite number of lines that can be drawn through the center of the circle. So if the water melon was a circle it would have an infinite amount of symmetry lines. Hope it helps!! :)


What shapes don't have lines of symmetry besides circles and ovals?

Circles and Ovals DO have lines of symmetry: a circle has an infinite number of them (each is a diameter of the circle) and an oval (ellipse) has two (one along the major axis, one along the minor axis). Shapes which have no lines of symmetry are irregular ones, eg scalene triangles, along with most parallelograms (ie parallelograms which are not rhombuses) and non-isosceles trapezia. Some irregular shapes can have lines of symmetry, eg irregular octagons can have 1, 2 or 4 lines of symmetry as well as no lines of symmetry, unlike a regular octagon which [always] has 8 lines of symmetry.

Order of rotational symmetry on an oval?

An oval typically has two lines of symmetry, which means it has an order of rotational symmetry of two. This means that the oval looks the same after a 180-degree rotation. The center of rotation would be the point where the two axes of symmetry intersect. The oval does not have any other rotational symmetries due to its asymmetrical shape.


Can a figure have line symmetry and not rotational symmetry?

Yes. An ellipse (oval) has two lines of symmetry, but not a rotational symmetry. A parabola has one line and no rotation.

Does an oval have a rotational symmetry?

Rotational symmetry counts how many times a shape will fit onto itself when it is rotated 360°. When an oval (I assume you mean an ellipse) is rotated it will fit onto itself after 180°, thus it has rotational symmetry (of order 2).
