Question 7 • Geometry

Which solid has exactly five planes of symmetry?

Answer
A
Image with description A cylinder.
B
Image with description A cone.
C
Image with description A pentagonal pyramid.
D
Image with description A square pyramid.

Explanation

A regular pentagonal pyramid has five planes of symmetry, each passing through the apex and one symmetry line of its pentagonal base. A square pyramid has four such planes, while a cylinder and cone have infinitely many planes of symmetry through their central axis. Therefore, the pentagonal pyramid is the solid with exactly five planes of symmetry.
