The question, in short

Complete a pattern on a 4 by 4 grid so AB is the only line of symmetry, then sketch a hexagon with rotational symmetry of order 6 and perimeter 30 cm, labelling side lengths.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 1 mark

Complete the drawn pattern on the grid so that line AB is its only line of symmetry.

  1. 1Reflect each shaded square of the pattern in the line AB
  2. 2Shade the reflected squares so the pattern is the same on both sides of AB and has no other line of symmetry

Answer

Part (b) · 1 mark

Sketch a hexagon with rotational symmetry of order 6 and perimeter 30 cm, labelling each side length.

  1. 1Rotational symmetry of order 6: a regular hexagon, all 6 sides equal
  2. 2Side = 30 ÷ 6 = 5 cm
  3. 3Sketch a regular hexagon with each side labelled 5 cm

AnswerSketch of regular hexagon with sides labelled 5cm
