What are the symmetries of the reduce-reuse-recycle symbol?
What are the symmetries of an equilateral triangle?
What are the symmetries of a rectangle (which is not a square)?
What are the symmetries of a rhombus (which isn’t a square)?
In the picture below, we have a regular pentagon. The segments \(AB\) and \(CD\) have equal lengths. What is the angle \(\alpha\)?
We have two squares sharing the same centre, each with side length \(2\). Show that the area of overlap is at least \(3\).
A regular tetrahedron is a three dimensional shape with four faces. Each face of a regular tetrahedron is an equilateral triangle. Describe all symmetries of a regular tetrahedron.
Two lines intersect at a point \(P\) at an angle of \(\alpha\). Show that a rotation in the plane around the point \(P\) through an angle \(2\alpha\) can be achieved by a reflection in one of the two lines followed by a reflection in the other line.
