Draw all the lines of symmetry for this shape.

A line of symmetry divides a shape into two regions that are mirror images of each other across the line.

Line of symmetry

Not a line of symmetry

Look at the shape.

To draw a line of symmetry, look for two halves of this T that are mirror images of each other. Then, draw the line of symmetry between these halves.

The right half of T is the mirror image of the left half. So, the vertical line that passes through the middle of T is a line of symmetry.

There are no other ways to split T so that the halves are mirror images of each other. So, this is the only line of symmetry.
