Question 3.
Name some natural objects with faces which have atleast one line of symmetry.
Solution:
1) Moon (Full)
2) Face of a human being
3) Orange fruit
4) Sunflower
5) Butterfly

Question 4.
Draw three tessellations and name the basic shapes used on your tessellation.
Solution:
I may notice that the basic shapes used to draw tessellations are pentagon, rectangle, squares, equilateral triangles, hexagons etc. Most tessellations can’t be formed with these shapes.
