The video tutorial explores the concept of symmetry, focusing on lines of symmetry in shapes. It explains symmetry with everyday examples and defines lines of symmetry as lines that divide shapes into identical halves. The video discusses symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, highlighting that some shapes have multiple lines of symmetry. It examines symmetry in triangles and regular polygons, noting that regular polygons have lines of symmetry equal to their number of sides. The tutorial concludes with practice questions to reinforce learning.

What is a line of symmetry?

• A line that cuts a shape into two identical halves

• A line that is always horizontal

• A line that is always vertical

• A line that divides a shape into two different parts

Which of the following shapes is asymmetrical?

• Equilateral triangle

• Isosceles triangle

• Scalene triangle

• Square

If a shape has no lines of symmetry, it is considered:

• Irregular

• Asymmetrical

• Symmetrical

• Regular

How many lines of symmetry does a regular hexagon have?

• Five

• Three

• Four

• Six

What pattern is observed in the lines of symmetry of regular polygons?

• They have no lines of symmetry

• They always have four lines of symmetry

• The number of lines of symmetry equals the number of sides

• The number of lines of symmetry is half the number of sides
