Which of the following figures has BOTH reflectional and rotational symmetry?
AA (Scalene triangle)
BB (Regular hexagon)
CC (Parallelogram)
DD (Arrow)
Explanation
📌 Step 1: Check each figure
A (Scalene triangle): No lines of symmetry, no rotational symmetry ✗ B (Regular hexagon): 6 lines of symmetry + rotational symmetry at 60° ✓ C (Parallelogram): No lines of symmetry, rotational symmetry at 180° only → partial ✗ D (Arrow): 1 line of symmetry (vertical) but no rotational symmetry ✗
📌 Answer: B (Regular hexagon)
💡 Tip: All regular polygons have BOTH reflectional AND rotational symmetry. The number of symmetry lines = number of sides.
