A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry, one for each pair of opposite vertices and one for each pair of opposite sides.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: A regular octagon has 8 lines of symmetry, one for each pair of opposite vertices and one for each pair of opposite sides. Each line of symmetry divides the octagon into two equal halves, reflecting the shape perfectly across that line.
