The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Draw a semicircle.** - To draw a semicircle, start by drawing a straight horizontal line. This will be the diameter of the semicircle. - Use a compass or a round object to draw a curve that connects the endpoints of the diameter, forming a half-circle above the line. **Step 2: Identify the line of symmetry.** - A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two identical parts that are mirror images of each other. - For a semicircle, the line of symmetry is the vertical line that runs down the center of the semicircle, perpendicular to the diameter. **Step 3: Check for additional lines of symmetry.** - To determine if there are any other lines of symmetry, consider folding the semicircle along different lines. - You will find that the only line along which the semicircle can be folded to match both halves is the vertical line through the center. **Step 4: Count the lines of symmetry.** - Since we have identified only one line of symmetry, we conclude that the semicircle has exactly one line of symmetry. ### Final Answer: The semicircle has **1 line of symmetry**. ---
