Best Answer

the only way for a right triangle to have a line of symmetry, is if the legs of the triangle are congruent. Or you can show that both non-right angles are congruent (45 degrees). you may also prove that the altitude of the triangle bisects the hypotenuse or that it equals 1/2 of the hypotenuse.

What figure has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?

A nonrectangular parallelogram has rotational symmetry, but not line symmetry. Additionally, shapes such as the letters S, N, and Z can be rotated to show rotational symmetry, although they do not have line symmetry.


Which shape has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?

A shape does NOT need to have line symmetry in order to have rotational symmetry.For example, the letters N, Z and S can be rotated 180° to show symmetry, but none of these show line symmetry.When the folded part Line of Symmetry. Here I have folded a rectangle one way, and it didn't work.


An angle having equal arms possesses how many lines of symmetry show all the lines of symmetry in such an angle?

It is not possible to show anything using this browser, but the only line of symmetry is the bisector of the angle.


Show three lines of symmetry?

If your asking what shape has three lines of symmetry, your answer would be an equilateral triangle. You can tell how many lines of symmetry a shape that has all angles of the same measure has by looking at it's angles. Ex., pentagon has five angles--five lines of symmetry; octagon has eight angles, eight lines of symmetry; etc.


Show you a picture of a trapezium with 2 right angles?

Cannot show a picture, but visualise a right angled triangle. Then imagine one of the [acute] vertices chopped off by a line parallel to the opposite side. You will then have a trapezium with two right angles. Very crudely, it should look like the figure below: ---\ |__\

Can you show me a triangle with only one line of symmetry?

An Isosceles triangle has at least one line of symmetry but if it has more than one line of symmetry it can be an Equilateral triangle as well as a Isosceles Triangle. So a triangle with one line of symmetry is always Isosceles and If it has more than one it is always an Equilateral triangle as well as an Isosceles triangle. Example of an Isosceles triangle:

Do Arthropods have bilateral or radial symmetry?

Insects have bilateral symmetry because if they had radial symmetry, they would have to be perfectly round. Bilateral symmetry is just when you cut something with a line of symmetry down the middle and both sides are symmetrical.
