Question 8 • Geometry

Which solid has an infinite number of planes of symmetry?

Answer
A
Image with description A square pyramid.
B
Image with description A square prism.
C
Image with description A cylinder.
D
Image with description A triangular prism.

Explanation

A cylinder has a circular base, so any plane that passes through its central axis divides the cylinder into two matching halves. Because the axis can be contained in infinitely many different planes, the cylinder has infinitely many planes of symmetry. The square pyramid, square prism, and triangular prism have only a finite number.
