We saw that the diagonal of a square is also a line of symmetry. Let us take a rectangle that is not a square. Class 6

Question 1.

We saw that the diagonal of a square is also a line of symmetry. Let us take a rectangle that is not a square. Is its diagonal a line of symmetry? Class 6

Solution:

No, it is not a line of symmetry.


Question 2.

What if we reflect along the diagonal from A to C? Where do points A, B, C and D go? What if we reflect along the horizontal line of symmetry? Class 6

Solution:

A will go to A, C will go to C, B will go to D and D will go to B.

If we reflect along the horizontal line, then A will go to D, D will go to A, B will go to C and C will go to B.
