Question

Alicia drew a pentagon with equal side lengths and equal angles. Then she added red lines of symmetry to her drawing. How many lines did she draw? Use the picture to show how you know.

Answer 1

A pentagon is a regular polygon with five equal sides and five equal interior angles. Also, it has five vertices. To draw the line that would divide the figure equally into two, we simply have to draw a line from one vertex and then extend the line to the opposite side.

Since, there are five vertices then, she will be able to draw five. 

Answer: 5
