The image contains two main tasks related to symmetry.

Task 1: Complete the definitions for planes of symmetry.

  1. Cylinder: A cylinder has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. These include the plane midway between the bases and parallel to them, and any plane containing the axis of the cylinder. Cylinder: infinite lines of symmetry and planes\text{Cylinder: infinite lines of symmetry and planes}
  2. Cone: A cone has an infinite number of planes of symmetry. These are any planes that contain the axis of the cone. Cone: infinite lines of symmetry and planes\text{Cone: infinite lines of symmetry and planes}
  3. Cube: A cube has 9 planes of symmetry. These include three planes parallel to the faces, three planes passing through opposite edges, and three planes passing through opposite vertices. Cube: 9 planes of symmetry\text{Cube: 9 planes of symmetry}

Task 2: Determine the number of planes of symmetry for the following shapes.

  1. Pentagon: A regular pentagon (a 2D shape) has 5 lines of symmetry. If the question refers to a 3D pentagonal prism, it would have 6 planes of symmetry (1 rotational plane through the middle, and 5 planes passing through the midpoints of the sides and the axis). Assuming it refers to a 2D regular pentagon. Pentagon: 5\text{Pentagon: 5}
  2. Prism:
    • Rectangular Prism: A rectangular prism (or cuboid) has 3 planes of symmetry. These planes pass through the midpoints of opposite faces. Rectangular Prism: 3\text{Rectangular Prism: 3}
    • Square Prism (Cube): A square prism with equal sides is a cube. A cube has 9 planes of symmetry. Square Prism (Cube): 9\text{Square Prism (Cube): 9}
  3. Cuboid: A cuboid (which is a rectangular prism) has 3 planes of symmetry. Cuboid: 3\text{Cuboid: 3}

Here are the final answers:

  • Cylinder: infinite lines of symmetry and planes\boxed{\text{infinite lines of symmetry and planes}}
  • Cone: infinite lines of symmetry and planes\boxed{\text{infinite lines of symmetry and planes}}
  • Cube: 9 planes of symmetry\boxed{\text{9 planes of symmetry}}
  • Pentagon: 5\boxed{5}
  • Rectangular Prism: 3\boxed{3}
  • Square Prism (Cube): 9\boxed{9}
  • Cuboid: 3\boxed{3}
