Question
Construct a regular hexagon of side = 3.8 cm and draw all its lines of symmetry .
Solution
Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a line segment AB = 3.8 cm
(ii) At A and B, draw rays making an angle of 120° eadi and cut off AF = BC = 3.8 cm
(iii) Again at F and C, draw rays making an angle of 120• each and cut off CD = FE= 3.8 cm
(iv) Join DE. ABCDEF is the required hexagon.
(v) Draw perpendicular bisectors of each of the opposite sides and al so join AD 1 BE and CF. These six lines are the lines of symmetry .
