Question 4 • Mathematics I

Which triangle has 0 reflectional symmetries?

Answer
A
Image with description A right triangle with no label, has different side lengths and angle measures.
B
Image with description A triangle has all equal side lengths and angle measures.
C
Image with description An isosceles right triangle with no labels.
D
Image with description A triangle with no labels, has all equal side lengths and angle measures.

Explanation

A triangle with 0 reflectional symmetries must have no line that divides it into matching mirror halves. Choice A describes a triangle with different side lengths and angle measures, so it is scalene and has no reflectional symmetry. Equilateral triangles have 3 lines of symmetry, while an isosceles right triangle has 1.
