Question:medium

Which one of the following options has the correct sequence of objects arranged in the increasing number of mirror lines (lines of symmetry)?

Show Hint

For symmetry questions, focus on the geometric properties of each figure, such as the number of equal parts or axes of symmetry.
  • Circle; Square; Equilateral triangle; Isosceles triangle
  • Isosceles triangle; Equilateral triangle; Square; Circle
  • Equilateral triangle; Isosceles triangle; Square; Circle
  • Isosceles triangle; Square; Equilateral triangle; Circle
Hide Solution

Solution and Explanation

An isosceles triangle possesses 1 line of symmetry: a vertical line through the apex opposite the base. An equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry, each passing vertically through a vertex. A square exhibits 4 lines of symmetry: horizontal, vertical, and the two diagonals. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry, allowing division into equal parts in countless ways.
