find a line of symmetry for triangle
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it.
When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry.
Here I have folded a rectangle one way, and it didn't work.But when I try it this way, it does work (the folded part sits perfectly on top, all edges matching):
So this is a Line of Symmetry
Triangles
A Triangle can have 3, or 1 or no lines of symmetry .Equilateral Triangle
(all sides equal,
all angles equal) Isosceles Triangle
(two sides equal,
two angles equal) Scalene Triangle
(no sides equal,
no angles equal)
3 Lines of Symmetry 1 Line of Symmetry No Lines of Symmetry
Step-by-step explanation:
The two sides meeting at that vertex must be the same length in order for there to be a line of symmetry .when the two sides meeting at a vertex do have the same length ,the line of symmetry through that vertex passes through the midpoint of the opposite side.
