Though rhombus and square have many similarities but there are some differences between them. These are:. All the angles of a square are 90 degrees i. Due to the difference in the angle measurement of square and rhombus, both have different lines of symmetry. A rhombus has two lines of symmetry whereas a square has 4 lines of symmetry. The rotational symmetry defines that when an object is rotated on its own axis, its shape appears the same as the original shape.
A rhombus is a 2-dimensional geometrical figure whose all the four sides are of equal length. In contrast with square, the measurement of all the four angles of a rhombus is not equal to 90 degrees. A rhombus has 2 lines of symmetry i. The angle of rotation for the rhombus is degrees whereas the order of rotational symmetry of rhombus is 2. Is the dotted line given on the shape below represents a line of symmetry. The shape given above can be imagined as paper and if we fold a paper through the dotted line, transparently the shapes of both the sides of the line don't get matched.
It is also a rectangle and a parallelogram. A rhombus is defined as a parallelogram with four equal sides. No, because a rhombus does not have to have 4 right angles. How many letters have no linear symmetry? What is the most symmetrical number? Palindromic numbers receive most attention in the realm of recreational mathematics. What is a line of symmetry in math? The "Line of Symmetry" shown here in white is the imaginary line where you could fold the image and have both halves match exactly.
See: Symmetry. Reflection Symmetry. Which figure has only one line of symmetry? An isosceles triangle: In the figure there is one line of symmetry. It is also defined as a parallelogram with adjacent sides of equal length. An imaginary line through which the rhombus is folded into two halves such that these halves are symmetrical in nature is known as a rhombus line of symmetry.
Let's understand more about the rhombus lines of symmetry. There are 2 lines of symmetry in a rhombus. The imaginary axis or line along which the rhombus can be folded to obtain the two symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry in rhombus. If the folded part exactly superimposes on the other half, with all the edges and corners coinciding, then the folded line represents a line of symmetry and that shape is symmetrical either along its length, width, or diagonals.
The diagonals are the 2 lines of symmetry in a rhombus. This is because, when we fold the rhombus along the diagonal line, we get the same shape as two halves. Let's look into the diagram given below which shows the 2 lines of symmetry in a rhombus. A rhombus has rotational symmetry of order 2. So, when a shape is turned about a complete rotation and the shape is identical to the origin, we see the rotational symmetry exists. We will completely rotate a rhombus by degrees in different stages and check the images formed to check the order of the rotational symmetry as shown below.
