Question

The given figure has more than one line of symmetry. Such figures are said to have multiple lines of symmetry. Identify multiple lines of symmetry, if any in the given figure.

Answer 1

Hint: Line of symmetry is a line along which if we fold the figure then the two parts will coincide with each other and the given figure has multiple line of symmetries so from the definition of line of symmetry we can see that there are two lines of symmetry given in the question.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In the below figure, we have labeled the figure given in the question.

In the above figure, we can see a rectangle EFHG and the two dotted lines are the line of symmetries of this rectangle and the intersection of these dotted lines is a point I.
We are saying the two dotted lines as the line of symmetries because along each line of symmetry if we fold the figure then the two parts of the figure will coincide with each other.
Hence, we have identified two lines of symmetries in the given figure.

Note: We can redefine the definition of line of symmetry as it is a line which divides the whole figure in two equal parts.
If a figure has a line of symmetry then it divides the figure in two parts in such a way that one of the parts of the divided figure is the reflection of the other part of the divided figure and the line of symmetry is acting as a mirror in which the reflection has occurred.
