Question

How many lines of symmetry does the butterfly have? A. 1 B. 2 C. 4 D. 6

Answer 1

1 because you can split it right down the middle and it would be the same on both sides

Answer 2

Option B. 2 is correct

Explanation:

Line of symmetry is the line such that if we fold the figure along that line, we get two halves such that those two halves will overlap each other .

Some figures may have infinite lines of symmetry, for example circle .

Some figures may have finite number of lines of symmetry, for example square has four lines of symmetry .

Besides mathematical figures, we can also talk about lines of symmetry in case of objects .

Here, we need to find the number of lines of symmetry in case of butterfly .

If we cut butterfly vertically, we get two halves which actually overlap each other.

So, butterfly has two lines of symmetry .B.
