Question 2 • Geometry

The base of the pyramid is a rectangle that is not a square. Which statements correctly describe the symmetry of the pyramid? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
An angle that measures 90 degrees is an angle of rotation for an axis of symmetry for the pyramid.
B
An axis of symmetry passes through the vertex and is perpendicular to the base.
C
An angle that measures 45 degrees is an angle of rotation for an axis of symmetry for the pyramid.
D
The pyramid has four planes of symmetry.
E
An axis of symmetry passes through the vertex and through one of the triangular faces of the pyramid.
F
The pyramid has two planes of symmetry.

Explanation

The pyramid’s axis of rotational symmetry runs through its vertex and is perpendicular to the base, so statement B is correct. Because the rectangular base is not a square, it has two lines of symmetry, giving the pyramid two corresponding planes of symmetry; statement F is correct. The pyramid has a half-turn (180°) rotational symmetry, not a 90° or 45° rotation.
