(b) Difference = Paris (7°C) – Helsinki (-2°C) = 7 – (-2) = 9°C.

Question

On each shape draw all the lines of symmetry.

Shapes for symmetry analysis

Write down the order of rotational symmetry of this shape.

▶️ Answer/Explanation
Answer:

(a) The equilateral triangle has 3 lines of symmetry (through each vertex to midpoint of opposite side). The rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry (vertical and horizontal through center). The isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry (vertical through the apex).

(b) The order of rotational symmetry is 2 – the shape matches itself twice in a full 360° rotation (at 180° and 360°).
