Question 9 • Geometry

The line about which a three-dimensional figure is rotated to obtain an object identical to the original is a(n)

Answer
A
reflectional axis.
B
horizontal plane.
C
plane of symmetry.
D
axis of symmetry.

Explanation

A three-dimensional figure has an axis of symmetry when rotating it around a particular line leaves it looking identical to its original position. Therefore, the line described is an axis of symmetry. A plane of symmetry instead divides a figure into matching mirror-image halves.
