Symmetry of Solids

Question 2 • Mathematics for College Liberal Arts Sem 2 (1207350) BCPS 2026-27

Which solid has an infinite number of planes of symmetry?

Answer
A
a trapezoidal pyramid
B
a cube
C
a right triangular prism
D
a cone

Explanation

A right circular cone has a plane of symmetry for every vertical plane that passes through its central axis. Because there are infinitely many possible directions for such a plane, the cone has infinitely many planes of symmetry. A cube and the listed prisms or pyramid have only finitely many symmetry planes.
