Solution:
Minimum number of sides of a polygon is 3.
Question 3.
Given below are three types of triangles. Do all the triangles have the same number of lines of symmetry ? Which triangles has more ? (Page No. 279)

![]()
Question 4.
Given below are different types of quadrilaterals. Do all of them have the same number of lines of symmetry ? Which quadrilateral has the most ? (Page No. 281)
Solution:

By folding also we conclude that a regular polygon has the maximum number of lines / axes of symmetry.
In the above case a square has maximum number of axes of symmetry.
All of them do not have the same number of axes of symmetry.
