Do a hexagon have point symmetry?
It can, but need not.
Does a hexagon have a line of symmetry or point symmery or neither or both?
Both
Does a triangle have point symmetry?
No, a triangle does not have point symmetry. Point symmetry occurs when an object or shape remains the same after being rotated 180 degrees around a central point. In the case of a triangle, it does not have point symmetry because it does not look the same after a 180-degree rotation.
What is the degree of rotational symmetry of a five point star?
50 degrees
What is a point of symmetry and a line containing that point?
It is a line through the point of symmetry. In general it is not an axis of symmetry.
Do a hexagon have point symmetry?
It can, but need not.
How do you draw lines of symmetry lines in a regular hexagon?
From each vertex to its opposite vertex. These will be centered on a shared point at the center of the hexagon. Each complete line will be a line of symmetry for the hexagon.

Both
What shape does not have a line of symmetry?
something that has point symmetry is shapes with thought points

How do you sketch a figure with rotational symmetry but no line symmetry?
When a shape is rotated about its centre, if it comes to rest in a position and looks exactly like the original, then it has rotational symmetry. A shape like an equilateral triangle would therefore have an order of rotational symmetry of 3. The general rule for a regular polygon (shapes such as pentagons, heptagons, octagons etc. is, that the number of sides is the same as the number of lines of symmetry, which is also the same as the rotational symmetry order). This means that a regular hexagon has 6 sides, 6 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 6. Following from this, then a square, which is a regular polygon, has 4 sides, 4 lines of symmetry and an order of rotational symmetry of 4. If a shape has rotational symmetry, it must have either line symmetry or point symmetry or both. For example, a five pointed star has 5 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 5, but does not have point symmetry. A parallelogram has no line of symmetry, but has rotational symmetry of order 2 and also point symmetry. Only a shape which has line symmetry or point symmetry can have rotational symmetry. When there is point symmetry and also rotational symmetry, the order of the latter is even. For example, the letter 'S' has rotational symmetry of order 2, the regular hexagon of order 6. On this basis, we would suggest that the letter 'F' does not have a rotational symmetry order as it does not have either line symmetry or point symmetry. It doesn't have a centre around which you could rotate it. Sounds weird, but given the definitions, we think this is the case.
What is line and point symmetry?
Line symmetry = Reflection symmetry. Point symmetry = Rotational symmetry.
What is a point of symmetry and a line containing that point?
It is a line through the point of symmetry. In general it is not an axis of symmetry.
What is a figure that has point symmetry but not line symmetry?
The letters S and N have point symmetry but not line symmetry.
What are lower case letters with lines of symmetry?
This is different in different typefaces (fonts) but in arial: o i l s v w x z all have symmetry s and z have point symmetry the others have at least one line of symmetry.
Does every isosceles triangle have at least one line of symmetry?
Yes, every isosceles triangle has at least one line of symmetry, usually drawn down the middle from the top point, down in the middle of the triangle's base.
