Question

On a squared paper, sketch the following:
A quadrilateral with both horizontal & vertical lines of symmetry.

Answer 1

Hint: First, we draw the lines of symmetry & then complete the quadrilateral with both horizontal & vertical lines of symmetry. A quadrilateral has four sides; it is two dimensional, closed & has straight sides.
Line of symmetry: The line passes through an object or a pattern dividing them into exact halves, identical to one another is the line of symmetry.

Complete answer:
Let us draw the diagram. As given in the hint, we will draw the lines of symmetry, and then we draw the quadrilateral.

Here, we draw a square with both horizontal & vertical lines of symmetry. Square is also a type of quadrilateral. It satisfies the definition of a quadrilateral.

Note: Quadrilateral just means “four sides”. Quad means four, lateral means side. A quadrilateral has four sides, four vertices & the sum of their interior angles is always 360 degrees.
The student should draw a quadrilateral and measure the angles. They should add to 360 degrees.
Types of the quadrilateral are rectangle, square, rhombus, and parallelogram.
The horizontal line of symmetry cuts the figure into a top and bottom that are mirror images of each other.
The vertical line of symmetry cuts the figure into a left and right that are mirror images of each other.
 The body plans of most animals, including humans, exhibit mirror symmetry. There are various examples of symmetry in nature such as honeycomb, sunflowers (flowers), spider webs, animals, snowflakes, leaves, sun-moon symmetry.
