Chapter Summary

--- PAGE 1 --- ChapterChapter Symmetrical 1010 Designs Alphabet Cutout Prem and Manu want to paste ‘Happy Birthday’ cutouts on a wall for Lali’s birthday. While preparing cutouts of letters, they observe that some letters can be cut out in an easy way. They remember that they learnt about reflection symmetry and lines of symmetry in Grade 4. They used their knowledge of lines of symmetry to make the cutouts. The letter A has a vertical line of symmetry. So, to cut Step 1Step 2 out the letter ‘A’— 1. Fold a paper in half. 2. Draw half of the letter A along the fold. 3. Cut along the outline. Step 3Step 4 4. Open the paper to see the full letter A. The letter H has two lines of symmetry. Step 1 Step 2 1. Fold the paper into one-fourth (once vertically, once horizontally). 2. Draw one-fourth of the letter H along the fold. Step 3 Step 4 3. Cut along the outline. 4. Open the paper to see the full letter H. 1 Which of the following alphabet cutouts can be made by just drawing half () 2…
