The correct Answer is:
To determine how many lines of symmetry the letter 'Z' has, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lines of Symmetry**: A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical parts that are mirror images of each other. If you can fold the shape along this line, both halves will match perfectly. 2. **Visualizing the Letter 'Z'**: Draw the letter 'Z' on a piece of paper. It consists of three straight lines: one horizontal line at the top, one diagonal line connecting the top and bottom, and one horizontal line at the bottom. 3. **Checking for Vertical Symmetry**: - Draw a vertical line down the center of the letter 'Z'. - Observe that the left side does not mirror the right side. Therefore, there is no vertical line of symmetry. 4. **Checking for Horizontal Symmetry**: - Now, draw a horizontal line through the middle of the letter 'Z'. - Again, the top part does not match the bottom part. Thus, there is no horizontal line of symmetry. 5. **Checking for Diagonal Symmetry**: - Finally, check for any diagonal lines of symmetry by drawing diagonal lines from corner to corner. - The letter 'Z' does not match up on either diagonal line, confirming that there are no diagonal lines of symmetry. 6. **Conclusion**: Since we have checked all possible lines of symmetry and found that none divide the letter 'Z' into identical halves, we conclude that the letter 'Z' has no lines of symmetry. ### Final Answer: The letter 'Z' has **no line of symmetry**.
