Zach
is
incorrect.
A
triangle
may
have
one
or
three
lines
of
symmetry depending
on
its
nature.
Changing
the
orientation
does
not
change
the
lines
of
symmetry.
Children
should
prove
this
by
drawing
shapes
in
different
orientations
and
identifying
the
number
of
lines
of
symmetry.

Lines ofSymmetry Reasoning2 A triangle has one line of symmetry unless you change theorientation. Zach Zach is incorrect. A triangle may have one or three lines of symmetry depending on its nature. Changing the orientation does not change the lines of symmetry.
