Question

1. how many lines of symmetry are in a regular octagon? a. 9 b. 7 c. 8 d. 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the property of regular polygons

A regular polygon with \(n\) sides has \(n\) lines of symmetry.

Step2: Identify \(n\) for a regular octagon

An octagon has \(n = 8\) sides.

Step3: Determine the number of lines of symmetry

Since \(n=8\), a regular octagon has \(8\) lines of symmetry.

Answer:

C. 8
