How many lines of symmetry does a regular Hexagon have ?
Lines of symmetry in a regular Hexagon
What is line of symmetry ?
The line of symmetry is the imaginary line where we could fold the image and have both halves match exactly. or
If a given line splits a given figure into two identical halves, we say that the line has a line of symmetry or that the figure is symmetrical about the line and line is called a line of symmetry or the axis of symmetry.
A shape may have more than one line of symmetry depending on its angles and the lengths of each side.
For example, a rectangle has two lines of symmetry because it can be folded in half both horizontally and vertically to create mirror images.
A regular hexagon has 6 line of symmetry. The number of line of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides. Therefore, a regular hexagon has 6 line of symmetry.
A regular hexagon is a polygon with six equal sides and six equal angles.
Below figure shows lines of symmetry in a regular hexagon.
There are six lines of symmetry in a regular hexagon with equal sides and angles. This is due to the fact that a hexagon may be folded in half six different ways such that one side perfectly fits the other.
