How many lines of symmetry does a SQUARE have?

  • 4
  • 2
  • 1
  • 0

Answer: 4. Square: 2 diagonals + horizontal + vertical = 4 lines of symmetry.

Which shape is the same as a square, just turned (rotated)?

  • A tilted square — same 4 sides, same 4 right angles.
  • A rhombus — 4 equal sides but no right angles.
  • A rectangle — right angles but unequal sides.
  • A triangle — different shape entirely.

Answer: A tilted square — same 4 sides, same 4 right angles.. Properties don't change when rotated. A tilted square is still a square.

GuruMulti-step reasoning.

A regular hexagon's interior angles sum to 720°. What is the size of EACH angle?

  • 120°
  • 180°
  • 90°
  • 100°

Answer: 120°. Regular hexagon = 6 equal angles. 720 ÷ 6 = 120°.
