Symmetry

Question 10 • High School Math 2 A

How can a regular hexagon be folded to show that it has reflectional symmetry?

Answer
A
Fold the hexagon along a line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side.
B
Fold the hexagon along a line connecting the two midpoints of adjacent sides.
C
Fold the hexagon along a line that bisects two vertex angles.
D
Fold the hexagon along a line that creates a right angle at a vertex.

Explanation

A regular hexagon has reflectional symmetry along a line through two opposite vertices. That line bisects the interior angle at each of those vertices, so folding along it makes the two halves match. A line from a vertex to the midpoint of an opposite side does not generally pass through the center and is not a line of symmetry.
