Very Short Answer Questions (1 Mark Each)

(1) Define line of symmetry.

A line that divides a figure into halves is called a line of symmetry.

Correct! A line of symmetry creates mirror images on both sides.

(2) How many lines of symmetry does a square have?

Perfect! A square has 4 lines of symmetry - 2 diagonal and 2 through midpoints.

(3) Write one shape which has no line of symmetry.

Excellent! Other examples include irregular shapes or parallelograms.

(4) Name a letter of the English alphabet that has exactly one line of symmetry.

Great! Other examples include B, C, D, M, T, U, V, W, Y.

(5) How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?

Correct! A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry through its midpoints.
