Looks like there's one line of symmetry, so try capital A
A line of symmetry is a line through a shape. It shows that on either side of this line that the picture is exactly the same. There can be more than one line of symmetry in a shape.They are 'mirror images' when a shapes are divided by a lines of symmetry.
Yes. Draw the letter H on a piece of paper and turn it upside down. You'll notice that it still looks like an H. It does not have 90 degree (or 270 degree) rotational symmetry, though - if you turn it sideways, it looks like a weird elongated I.
Real-life objects that have three lines of symmetry are equilateral triangles, certain types of stars (such as a six-pointed star), and certain types of flowers (like a trillium). These objects have rotational symmetry of order three, meaning they can be rotated by 120 degrees and still look the same. The three lines of symmetry intersect at angles of 120 degrees, dividing the object into three equal parts.
When you can cut the object in half and it will look like a mirror image of each side.
