Let&#8217;s solve some rhombus lines of symmetry examples and practice problems to understand the concept better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-solved-examples-on-lines-of-symmetry-in-a-rhombus\">Solved Examples on Lines of Symmetry in a Rhombus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 1: How many lines of symmetry does a rhombus have?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we fold the rhombus along the diagonal line, we get two identical halves. It is not possible if we fold the rhombus along its sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rhombus has two lines of symmetry, which are basically its diagonals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example 2: Write whether the following statements are true or false .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>a. A rhombus has rotational symmetry of order 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>b. A rhombus has 4 lines of symmetry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>a. A rhombus has rotational symmetry of order 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>False.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rhombus can rotate 360 degrees twice before it fits onto itself.&nbsp; As a result, we can say that a rhombus has rotational symmetry with order 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>b. A rhombus has 4 lines of symmetry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>False<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rhombus has 2 lines of symmetry which cuts it into two identical parts. Both the lines of symmetry in a rhombus are from its diagonals. So, it can be said the rhombus lines of symmetry are its both diagonals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. What is the order of rotational symmetry in a square?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we can see in the figure, the square matches itself 4 times during a full rotation of 360\u00ba. Hence, it has the rotational symmetry of order 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rotational-symmetry-in-a-square.png\" alt=\"Rotational symmetry in a square\" class=\"wp-image-36055\" title=\"Rotational symmetry in a square\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rotational-symmetry-in-a-square.png 450w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/rotational-symmetry-in-a-square-300x255.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-practice-problems-on-lines-of-symmetry-in-a-rhombus\">Practice Problems on Lines of Symmetry in a Rhombus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><div class=\"spq_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"display:none;\">Lines of Symmetry in a Rhombus - Definition, Facts, Examples<\/h2><p style=\"display:none;\">Attend this quiz & Test your knowledge.<\/p><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">1<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">How many lines of symmetry are there in a rhombus?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">1<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">2<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">3<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">4<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: 2<br\/>There are two lines of symmetry in a rhombus which cuts it into two identical parts.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"1\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">2<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">What is the order of rotational symmetry for a rhombus?<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">1<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">2<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">3<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">4<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: 2<br\/>A rhombus when rotated comes back to its original shape twice, once at 180 degree rotation and then at full rotation.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"spq_question_wrapper\" data-answer=\"3\"><span class=\"spq_question_header\"><span class=\"sqp_question_number\">3<\/span><h3 class=\"sqp_question_text\">The number of times a figure fits into itself in one complete rotation is called the order of __________ symmetry.<\/h3><\/span><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"0\">Revolution<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"1\">Center<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"2\">Point<\/div><div class=\"spq_answer_block\" data-value=\"3\">Rotational<\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint\"><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__header\"><span class=\"spq_correct\">Correct<\/span><span class=\"spq_incorrect\">Incorrect<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sqp_question_hint__content\"><span>Correct answer is: Rotational<br\/>The number of times a figure fits into itself in one complete rotation is called the order of rotational symmetry.
