Exploring the Concept of Symmetry

The video tutorial introduces the concept of symmetry, using an isosceles triangle to explain reflectional symmetry. It discusses lines of symmetry, including vertical and horizontal axes, and explores shapes like rectangles, squares, and hexagons that have multiple axes of symmetry. The tutorial also covers the infinite symmetry of circles and highlights symmetry in nature, such as the human face. Reflectional symmetry is emphasized, with a promise to explore other types in future sessions.

What defines an Isosceles triangle?

• Four equal sides

• No equal sides

• Two equal sides

• Three equal sides

How many lines of symmetry does an Isosceles triangle have?

• Infinite

• Three

• Two

• One

Can a rectangle have more than one axis of symmetry?

• Yes

• Only if it's a square

• Only diagonally

• No

Why can't a rectangle's diagonal be an axis of symmetry?

• Because the parts don't match when folded

• Because it has more than four sides

• Because it only has one axis of symmetry

• Because it has curved sides

Which figure does not have its diagonals as axes of symmetry?

• Square

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Hexagon

How many axes of symmetry does a square have?

• Infinite

• Four

• Two

What shape has exactly six axes of symmetry?

• Hexagon

• Rectangle

• Triangle

• Circle

How many axes of symmetry does a circle have?

• One

• Two

• Six

• Infinite

What is an example of reflectional symmetry in nature?
