Best Answer

For a polygon with an even number of vertices

  • join each vertex to the opposite vertex. Test for symmetry.
  • join the mid-point of each side to the mid-point of the opposite side. Test for symmetry.

For a polygon with an odd number of vertices

  • join each vertex to the mid-point of the opposite side. Test for symmetry.
