Question

how can a regular hexagon be folded to show that it has reflectional symmetry?
fold the hexagon along a line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side
fold the hexagon along a line connecting the two midpoints of adjacent sides.
fold the hexagon along a line that bisects two vertex angles.
fold the hexagon along a line that creates a right angle at a vertex

Explanation:

A regular hexagon has reflectional symmetry. When folded along a line from a vertex to the mid - point of an opposite side, the two halves of the hexagon will match exactly. This line is a line of symmetry.

• Option B: Folding along a line connecting mid - points of adjacent sides does not result in a line of symmetry for a regular hexagon.
• Option C: A line that bisects two vertex angles is not a line of symmetry for a regular hexagon in the way described.
• Option D: A line that creates a right angle at a vertex is not a line of symmetry for a regular hexagon.

Answer:

A. Fold the hexagon along a line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side
