Answer

You're right to double-check! Let's clarify the square pyramid.

For a regular square pyramid:

  • Lines of symmetry (Axes of rotational symmetry): It has 1 axis of rotational symmetry. This axis passes through the apex (the top point) and the center of the square base. You can rotate the pyramid by 90∘90^\circ, 180∘180^\circ, or 270∘270^\circ around this axis, and it will look identical.
  • Planes of symmetry: It has 4 planes of symmetry.
    • Two planes pass through the apex and the midpoints of opposite sides of the square base.
    • Two planes pass through the apex and opposite vertices of the square base.

So, the previous answer was correct:

  • Lines of symmetry: 1
  • Planes of symmetry: 4
