Question
If an isosceles triangle has more than one line of symmetry, then it need not be an equilateral triangle.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Since, isosceles triangle is symmetrical about the bisector of the angle included between the equal sides, i.e., only one line of symmetry.
∴ If it has more than one line of symmetry then it must be an equilateral triangle.
