The number of lines of symmetry in a hexagon depends on the type of hexagon:
-
Regular hexagon (all sides and angles equal):
It has 6 lines of symmetry. Each line passes through one vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. -
Irregular hexagon (sides and angles not equal):
It may have 0 or more lines of symmetry , depending on its specific shape, but generally, irregular hexagons do not have lines of symmetry.
Summary:
Type of Hexagon| Number of Lines of Symmetry
---|---
Regular Hexagon| 6
Irregular Hexagon| Usually 0
