Types of Lines of Symmetry

The video tutorial explains symmetrical shapes, focusing on a square as an example. It describes how lines of symmetry divide shapes into identical halves, highlighting vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines of symmetry. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the types of symmetry lines and their characteristics.

What is a line of symmetry?

• A line that only divides circles

• A line that divides a shape into two different parts

• A line that is always horizontal

• A line that divides a shape into two identical halves

Which of the following is a vertical line of symmetry?

• A line that cuts a shape from left to right

• A line that does not divide the shape

• A line that cuts a shape from top to bottom

• A line that cuts a shape diagonally

How many lines of symmetry does a square have?

• Five

• Four

• Two

• Three

What are diagonal lines of symmetry?

• Lines that are always horizontal

• Lines that cut a shape from corner to corner

• Lines that cut a shape from top to bottom

• Lines that divide a shape into non-identical parts

Which of the following is NOT a type of line of symmetry?

• Diagonal line

• Horizontal line

• Vertical line

• Curved line
