Question 7 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 2 CREDIT RECOVERY

How can a regular hexagon be folded to show that it has reflectional symmetry?

Answer
A
Fold the hexagon along a line connecting the two midpoints of adjacent sides.
B
Fold the hexagon along a line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side.
C
Fold the hexagon along a line that bisects two vertex angles.
D
Fold the hexagon along a line that creates a right angle at a vertex.

Explanation

A regular hexagon has reflectional symmetry when folded along a line that passes through opposite vertices, bisecting the angles at both ends. The two halves then match exactly. Choice A describes this kind of fold. A line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side does not, in general, split the hexagon into matching halves.
