A quarter circle has one axis of symmetry. An axis of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. In the case of a quarter circle, if you draw a line through the center of the circle perpendicular to the diameter, it will divide the quarter circle into two equal parts that are mirror images of each other.

A pentagonal prism has 5 planes of symmetry. This is because it can be divided into 5 identical sections by planes passing through the center of the prism and perpendicular to its bases. Each of these planes divides the prism into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other.
