Does this figure have symmetry?
Yes, because if you rotate it less than one full turn, the figure carries onto itself.
No, because if you fold it in half, both halves do not match up.
Yes, because if you fold it in half, both halves match up.
No, because if you rotate it 90 degrees, it does not carry onto itself.

To determine if a figure has symmetry, we can look for two main types: reflection symmetry (where one half is a mirror image of the other half) and rotational symmetry (where the figure can be rotated less than a full turn and still look the same).
1. Reflection symmetry: If you can fold the figure in half and both halves match up, it has this type of symmetry.
2. Rotational symmetry: If the figure looks the same after being rotated by a fraction of a full turn, it has this type of symmetry.
If the figure meets either of those criteria, then it has symmetry.
From the options provided, the correct answer depends on the specific figure being referenced, but the standard understanding is:
– If it can be folded in half and the halves match, then Yes, because if you fold it in half, both halves match up.
Always refer to the specific characteristics of the figure to confirm which statement is true. If you’d like more help with symmetry concepts, feel free to ask!
