Symmetry of Solids

Question 5 • CA-Common Core Geometry DVHS Sem. 1

Which solid has an infinite number of planes of symmetry?

Answer
A
a square pyramid
B
a rectangular prism
C
a tetrahedron
D
a cylinder

Explanation

A right circular cylinder has a plane of symmetry through its central axis at every possible angle, giving it infinitely many planes of symmetry. It also has a horizontal plane halfway between its circular ends. The other solids have only a finite number of symmetry planes, so the correct choice is the cylinder.
