a.
To find: The lines of symmetry of a rectangle.
a.
Answer to Problem 13PSA
The lines of symmetry of the rectangle are
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The figure is a rectangle
Two dotted lines are
In the rectangle,
Now, if we take the line
This means each side of a rectangle is a reflection of the other if we take the line
Thus,
Similarly, if we take the line
Thus,
Hence,
b.
To find: The lines of symmetry of a kite.
b.
Answer to Problem 13PSA
The line of symmetry of the kite is the line
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The figure is a kite
Two dotted lines are
In the kite,
Now, if we take the line
This means each side of a kite is a reflection of the other if we take the line
Thus,
Now if we take the line
Thus,
Hence,
c.
To find: The lines of symmetry of a rhombus.
c.
Answer to Problem 13PSA
The lines of symmetry of the rhombus are the lines
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The figure is a rhombus
Two dotted lines are
In the rhombus,
Now, if we take the line
This means each side of a rhombus is a reflection of the other if we take the line
Thus,
Similarly, if we take the line
Thus,
Hence,
