Question 1.
Copy the figures with punched holes and find the axes of symmetry for the following :
e)
Solution:
f)
Solution:
g)
Solution:
h)
Solution:
Question 5.
Copy the figure given here :
Solution:
Take any one diagonal as a line of symmetry and shade a few more squares to make the figure symmetric about a diagonal. Is there more than one way to do that? will the figure be symmetric about both the diagonals?
Yes, there is more than one way to make the figure symmetric.
i) Let us take the diagonal BD and shade the squares as shown in the figure to make the figure symmetric about BD.
ii) Similarly the figure is symmetric about the diagonals.
iii) The figure is symmetric about EF and GH also.
Question 6.

Take any one diagonal as a line of symmetry and shade a few more squares to make the figure symmetric about both the diagonals?
Solution:
