Question

draw a square and draw its lines of symmetry ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four lines of symmetry

Answer 2

A square and its lines of symmetry can be drawn by following the steps given below.

1. First of all, draw a square with the help of a scale.
2. Mark the 4 corners as A, B, C, and D respectively, such that the square is ABCD. ABCD will be the required square.
3. Now, mark the mid-points on the sides of this square as P, Q, R, and S, as instructed in the next step (4).
4. Mark mid-points such that P is the mid-point of AB, and, Q, R, and S are the mid-points of BC, CD, and DA respectively.
5. Now, join the corners of the square, A to C and B to D, such that you get 2 line segments, AC and BD. These will be the diagonals of the square.
6. Further, join the mid-points drawn in step 4, such that you again get 2 line segments, PR and QS.
7. Hence in total, you get the 4 lines of symmetry of the square which are AC, BD, PR, and QS.
8. Thus, it may be observed that a square has 4 lines of symmetry.
