Question

38
multiple choice 2 points
which type of symmetry, horizontal and/or vertical reflection symmetry, does the number 8 demonstrate?
horizontal reflection symmetry
neither horizontal nor vertical reflection symmetry
vertical reflection symmetry
both horizontal and vertical reflection symmetry

Explanation:

Step1: Recall symmetry definitions

Vertical reflection symmetry: A figure is symmetric about a vertical line. Horizontal reflection symmetry: A figure is symmetric about a horizontal line.

Step2: Analyze number 8

For the number 8, if we draw a vertical line through its center, the left and right parts are mirror - images (vertical reflection symmetry). If we draw a horizontal line through its center, the upper and lower parts are mirror - images (horizontal reflection symmetry).

Answer:

Both horizontal and vertical reflection symmetry
