The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which figure has two lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2, we will analyze the options provided based on the properties of symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lines of Symmetry**: - A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other. - We need to find a figure that has exactly two lines of symmetry. 2. **Understanding Rotational Symmetry**: - Rotational symmetry of order 2 means that when the figure is rotated 180 degrees, it looks the same as it did before the rotation. - We need to check which figure has this property. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Rhombus**: - A rhombus has two lines of symmetry (the diagonals) and has rotational symmetry of order 2 (it looks the same when rotated 180 degrees). - **Equilateral Triangle**: - An equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 3. - **Semicircle**: - A semicircle has one line of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 1. - **Isosceles Trapezium**: - An isosceles trapezium has one line of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 1. 4. **Conclusion**: - The only figure that meets the criteria of having two lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2 is the **rhombus**. ### Final Answer: The figure which has two lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2 is the **rhombus**.
