Andy said that any shape with more than three sides or angles has the same number of lines of symmetry. Select the choice that correctly critiques Andy’s reasoning.
A. Andy is correct because lines of symmetry start at the angles.
B. Andy is incorrect because the shape must be a regular figure.
C. Andy is correct because a rhombus cannot have a line of symmetry.
D. Andy is incorrect because a pentagon does not have a line of symmetry.
Is it A, B, C, or D ?
Another person asked this question but she didn't put the full question in several people just put thumbs down then someone i guess chose b or d for incorrect because of the thumbs down answers and just a few days ago on my 🎂 bday 😁april 26 someone said it was wrong so can anyone help what is the correct choice? A B C D ?
Whoever said math is fun told a big fat lie 🤥
The answer is B for anyone that needs help
It’s B I did the quiz

To critique Andy’s reasoning, we need to determine if his statement is accurate. Andy claims that any shape with more than three sides or angles has the same number of lines of symmetry. To evaluate this claim, let's consider different shapes to test its validity.
Option A suggests that Andy is correct because lines of symmetry start at the angles. However, this is not a valid critique as the starting point of a line of symmetry does not determine the number of lines of symmetry a shape has. Therefore, Option A is not the correct critique.
Option B contends that Andy is incorrect because the shape must be a regular figure. This critique is valid since only regular polygons (shapes with equal side lengths and equal angles) have the same number of lines of symmetry. Any irregular polygon can have a different number of lines of symmetry, so Option B is the correct critique.
Option C states that Andy is correct because a rhombus cannot have a line of symmetry. This is incorrect because a rhombus can have one or two lines of symmetry, depending on the angle measures. Therefore, Option C is not the correct critique.
Option D argues that Andy is incorrect because a pentagon does not have a line of symmetry. This is also incorrect since a regular pentagon has five lines of symmetry, and an irregular pentagon may have zero or more lines of symmetry. Therefore, Option D is not the correct critique.
In conclusion, the correct critique of Andy’s reasoning is Option B: Andy is incorrect because the shape must be a regular figure.
