symmetry
By: Eng./Teacher Wael
Shnoudi

2. 8.1 Quadrilaterals
and polygons

3. Objectives
01
02
Recognize line symmetry and rotational
symmetry in 2D shapes, and identify different
properties of 2D shapes
identify and
describe the
hierarchy of
quadrilaterals.

4. Lines of
Symmetry
• A line that can be drawn through a shape so
that what can be see on either side is a mirror
image.
• It is sometimes called a Mirror Line

5. These shapes have one
line of symmetry

6. These shapes
have two lines
of symmetry

7. Some shapes have more than 2 lines of
symmetry
Square Equilateral Triangle Circle

8. Rectangle
2 lines of symmetry
Square
4 lines of symmetry
Rhombus
2 lines of symmetry
Equilateral Triangle
3 lines of symmetry
Isosceles triangle
1 line of symmetry
Isosceles Trapezium
1 line of symmetry
Kite
1 line of symmetry
Trapezium
No lines of symmetry
Parallelogram
no lines of symmetry
Regular Pentagon
5 lines of symmetry
Regular Hexagon
6 lines of symmetry
Regular Heptagon
7 lines of symmetry
The number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides.

9. Rotational Symmetry
A square has a rotational symmetry of order
4

10. Rotational
Symmetry
• Rotational Symmetry is how
many times a shape can be
rotated and fit within
itself/how many times a
shape can be rotated and
look the same

11. Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral
triangle has a
rotational symmetry
of order 3

12. What is the rotational
symmetry of this shape?
It has to be rotated one complete turn before it
fits into itself
Order 1

13. Shapes and Symmetry

14. These figures are not polygons These figures are polygons
Definition:A closed figure formed by a finite number of coplanar
segments so that each segment intersects exactly two
others, but only at their endpoints.
Polygons

15. Classifications of a Polygon
Regular: A polygon in which all angles are congruent and all sides
are congruent
That’s an equiangular equilateral polygon.
Irregular: A polygon that is not regular

17. Refer to book

18. What is a Quadrilateral?
• A quadrilateral is a
two-dimensional figure
with four sides and
four angles.
• The word part “quad”
means 4 and “lateral”
means sides.

19. Quadrilaterals in
the real world

20. Types of
Quadrilaterals
Square
Rectangle
Trapezoid
Rhombus
Paralellogram
Kite

21. A SQUARE
• A square is a
quadrilateral with 4
equal sides and 4 right
angles.

22. A RECTANGLE
• A rectangle is a
quadrilateral with 4
right angles.
• Its opposite sides are
equal and parallel.

23. Is a square a rectangle?
REMEMBER:
• A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles.
Its opposite sides are equal and parallel.
• A square is a quadrilateral with 4 equal sides and 4
right angles.
Rectangle?

24. Is a rectangle a
square?
REMEMBER:
• A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 right angles. Its
opposite sides are equal and parallel.
• A square is a quadrilateral with 4 equal sides and 4
right angles.
Square?

25. Determination…..
• A square can also be called a
rectangle because it has four
right angles and its opposite
sides are equal and parallel.
A rectangle is NOT a square because it does
not have equal sides.

26. A TRAPEZOID
• A trapezoid is a
quadrilateral that has
exactly 1 pair of parallel
sides.

27. IS THIS A TRAPEZOID?
◦ Yes, it has one set of parallel sides.

28. A RHOMBUS • A rhombus is a quadrilateral that has 4 equal
sides. Its opposite sides are parallel.

29. A PARALLELOGRAM
• A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that
has opposite sides that are equal and
parallel.
• Which of the quadrilaterals we have
seen are parallelograms?

30. Properties of
quadrilaterals

31. Have 4 sides and 4 angles
Has opposite sides that
are equal and parallel.
Has 1 pair of
parallel sides.
Has 4 right angles.
Opposite sides are
equal and parallel.
Has 4 equal sides.
Opposite sides
are parallel.

4 right angles.
What conclusions can we draw from the
graphic?

32. A square can also be called a rhombus, a
rectangle, a parallelogram,
and a quadrilateral.
