an equilateral triangle has 3 internal angles and 3 lines of symmetry.
a square has 4 internal angles and 4 lines of symmetry.
a regular pentagon has 5 internal angles and 5 lines of symmetry.
a regular hexagon has 6 internal angles and 6 lines of symmetry.
a regular octagon has 8 internal angles and 8 lines of symmetry.
Is there a pattern here? What is it? Mind you... maybe I've got this completly wrong. Perhaps you should fold the shapes for yourself to check the validity of my findings.
