Question

1. how many lines of symmetry does the shape shown below have?

options: 2, 4, 8, 10

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line of symmetry

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two mirror - image halves. For a regular - like symmetric shape, we can check the number of lines by visual inspection or by considering the symmetry properties.

Step2: Analyze the given shape

The given shape is a four - fold symmetric shape (similar to a square - based symmetric figure with rounded edges). We can draw lines of symmetry: one vertical line through the center, one horizontal line through the center, and two diagonal lines (connecting the opposite curved - corner regions). So, in total, there are 4 lines of symmetry.

Answer:

4 (corresponding to the option with 4, e.g., if the option is labeled as, say, B. 4, then the answer is B. 4)
