A regular triangle (aka equilateral triangle) has three lines of symmetry - these are its medians, In general, a regular n-gon has n lines of symmetry.
A scalene triangle
A triangle can have 0, 1 or 3 lines of symmetry.
Triangle * * * * * The only triangle with rotational symmetry of order 3 is an equilateral triangle and that has 3 lines of symmetry, not 0. The triskelion (the three legs) on the Isle of Man flag has rotational symmetry of order 3 but no lines of symmetry.
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.
