Question

question 6 of 10 how many lines of symmetry does a regular pentagon have?
a. none
b. 1
c. 3
d. 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall line of symmetry for regular polygons

A regular \( n \)-sided polygon has \( n \) lines of symmetry. A regular pentagon has 5 sides.

Step2: Determine lines of symmetry for regular pentagon

Since a regular pentagon has \( n = 5 \) sides, it has 5 lines of symmetry. Each line of symmetry can be drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side.

Answer:

D. 5
