When a pentagon has one line of symmetry, it means that the shape can be divided into two identical halves along that line. Each half is a mirror image of the other, indicating a specific arrangement of its sides and angles. Typically, this type of symmetry suggests that the pentagon may be asymmetric overall, but still possesses a specific reflective quality along that single line.
An irregular pentagon.
Yes. Let's say you draw a square, with a triangle on top, like a house. The only line of symmetry for this is straight down the middle.
when 2 halves are equal.
No, it can only have 0, 1 or 5 lines of symmetry.
A regular pentagon has rotational symmetry but does not have rational symmetry. Rational symmetry refers to the property of a shape that can be divided into equal parts by rotations that are fractions of a full rotation (e.g., 1/2, 1/3). Since a regular pentagon can only be rotated by 72 degrees (1/5 of a full rotation) to map onto itself, it does not exhibit rational symmetry.

One or none.
It is a regular pentagon!
A regular pentagon has five axes of symmetry.
A regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry, running from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. These lines are not to be confused with the five lines it takes to draw a pentagon. Every regular polygon has as many lines of symmetry as there are lines in the polygon.An irregular pentagon may have none or 1 line of symmetry.
Yes. Let's say you draw a square, with a triangle on top, like a house. The only line of symmetry for this is straight down the middle.
No. A pentagon can have 1 or 5 lines of symmetry.
Ah, what a lovely question! A shape with 5 sides and 1 line of symmetry is called a pentagon. It's like a beautiful little house with one side that can be folded perfectly in half to match up. Isn't it just delightful to explore the symmetry and harmony in nature's creations?
