To determine the number of lines of symmetry a hexagon has, we need to understand the concept of symmetry. A line of symmetry is a line that divides an object into two identical halves that can be superimposed on each other.
To find the lines of symmetry of a hexagon, we can take a systematic approach:
1. Start with one side of the hexagon. This side can be considered as a line of symmetry itself.
2. For each vertex on the hexagon, draw a line connecting it to the opposite vertex. These lines are also lines of symmetry.
3. By following steps 1 and 2, we have identified three lines of symmetry so far.
After following these steps, you'll discover that a regular hexagon has a total of six lines of symmetry. Each line divides the hexagon into two congruent halves.
So, the correct answer to the question is six lines of symmetry for a hexagon, not 8 or 16.
