Question 3 • Geometry

How many planes of reflectional symmetry does a regular hexagonal prism have?

Answer
A
12
B
13
C
6
D
7

Explanation

A regular hexagon has 6 lines of reflectional symmetry, and each line extends through the prism’s height to form a vertical plane of symmetry. The prism also has 1 horizontal plane halfway between its two hexagonal bases. Thus it has 6 + 1 = 7 planes of reflectional symmetry, so the correct choice is 7.
