Question
which diagram has all of the correct lines of reflectional symmetry for the regular pentagon?
Step1: Recall reflectional symmetry property
A regular pentagon has 5 lines of symmetry. Each line passes through a vertex and the mid - point of the opposite side.
Step2: Analyze each diagram
- The first diagram (if it has 5 lines) follows the rule. A regular pentagon's line of symmetry connects a vertex to the mid - point of the opposite side. Since there are 5 vertices, there are 5 such lines.
- The second diagram (if it has more than 5 lines) is incorrect as a regular pentagon doesn't have that many.
- The third diagram (if it has only 1 line) is incorrect as it's missing 4 lines.
- The fourth diagram (if the lines are not through vertex and mid - point of opposite side) is incorrect in line - placement.
So, the diagram with 5 lines of symmetry (each through a vertex and mid - point of the opposite side) is correct.
