Depending on the triangle, there can be 0, 1, or three lines of symmetry. A scalene triangle (all sides of different lengths) will have no lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle (exactly two sides of the same length) will have one line of symmetry, and an equilateral triangle (all three sides of the same length) will have three lines of symmetry.

How is symmetry used in everyday life?

Symmetry is often seen everyday by people of all ages in nature. Symmetry that we see everyday in nature is most often Bilateral Symmetry. This means that the two halves of an object are exactly mirror images of each other. Symmetry in humans the human face has a line of symmetry in some places, but some faces are more symmetrical than others. The more symmetrical your face the prettier your face will appear. A perfect example of this is supermodels and actresses. Another example of human symmetry is the kidneys, lungs, and the brain. If you draw a line or slice these organs in half, you will have a mirror image of the other. In flowers there are roughly identical petals, sepals, stamens, and leaves. While at the beach there are a wide variety of shells and underwater life with a line of symmetry, an example of this is a crab, a lobster, octopus, and starfish. Crystal G.


What does isocoles mean?

An isocoles is a triangle that has 2 equal sides only. Also all of its degrees have to add up to 180< (like all other triangles). The 2 equal angles have to be bigger than 0 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees. The unequal side has to be between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. The isocoles triangle has only 1 possible line of symmetry

Does a triangle have more than one line of symmetry?

It will have 3 lines of symmetry if its an equilateral triangle and only 1 line of symmetry if its an isosceles triangle.


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:


Which shape has more than one line of symmetry?

Many shapes have more than one line of symmetry. These include a rectangle, equilateral triangle, and a square. While a rectangle has two lines of symmetry, an equilateral triangle has three.


How many lines of symmetry does a cone?

A triangle has only one line of symmetry but who ever says there are more than two is a idiot * * * * * A triangle, in general has NO line of symmetry, so who ever (or whoever) says there is one is and acts smart about it is a bigger idiot! That is even more so when the question is about a cone and not a triangle! What a loser! A cone, in general has no line of symmetry. A right cone has one.


Does triangle have more than four symmetry?

No because the maximum lines of symmetry a triangle can have is 3 as an equilateral triangle and 1 as an isosceles triangle otherwise a triangle has no lines of symmetry.


Has more than 1 line of symmetry?

A rectangle,hexagon,octagon,triangle,decagon. It could be that looks dividable because no matter where you divide it, it has a line of symmetry... It could also be a snowflake!


Does a triangle have more than one symmetry?

It depends what type of triangle it is. If it is a scalene triangle, ie. a triangle with three different length sides and angles, then it won't have any lines of symmetry. If it's an iscosoles triangle, ie. a triangle with two sides and angles of equal length, it has one line of symmetry, but if it's an equalateral triangle, ie. a triangle with all sides and angles the same, then it has three lines of symmetry.

Which figure has only one line of symmetry heart or triangle?

A heart. Triangles can have more than one depending on the type.


What has a single line of symmetry?

There could be many answers to this. If were thinking in terms of geometry: a triangle has between 1 and 3 lines of symmetry a square will always have 4 lines of symmetry. Irregular shapes might have a single line of symmetry. For instance, a building may have a single line of symmetry. a line between two points may only have one line of symmetry. because it is only 2 dimensions, it is impossible for it to have more than one line of symmetry.


Does the triangle have more than one line of symmetry?

It depends on the triangle. Some have none, some have one, and some have three.I'm not positive, but I'd bet a nickel that it can't have two.
