Question 3.
In the following figures, the mirror line (i.e., the line of symmetry) is given as a dotted line. Complete each figure performing reflection in the dotted (mirror) line. (You might perhaps place a mirror along the dotted line and look into the mirror for the image). Are you able to recall the name of the figure you complete?

Question 5.
Copy the figure given here. 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?

Solution:
NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14 Symmetry 12

Yes! there is more than one way to make the figure symmetric.

  • Let us take the diagonal BD and shade the squares as shown in the figure to make the figure symmetric about BD.
  • Similarly, the figure is symmetric about the diagonal AC. Thus, the figure is symmetric about both the diagonals.
  • The figure is symmetric about EF and GH also.
