In this image, you are being asked to determine whether the lines labeled \( g \), \( h \), \( j \), and \( k \) in the given geometric figure represent lines of symmetry. Additionally, the question asks about what happens when a figure is folded along a line of symmetry.

### Explanation:
1. **Lines of Symmetry**: A line of symmetry divides a shape into two identical parts such that when folded along this line, the two parts match perfectly.

Looking at the figure:
- Line \( g \): Appears to be a vertical line dividing the figure. If both halves are identical after folding along \( g \), it could be a line of symmetry.
- Line \( h \): This line looks like a diagonal. Again, if folding along this line makes both sides identical, it is a line of symmetry.
- Line \( j \) and \( k \): Similarly, analyze whether folding the figure along these lines results in two identical halves.

### For the Dropdown Menus:
1. **For the first question**: Based on whether any of the lines divide the figure into matching parts upon folding, you will select "yes" or "no" for each line.
2. **For the second question**: The answer should highlight that when folded along a line of symmetry, both parts "match exactly."

Would you like more specific analysis on which of these lines are lines of symmetry for this particular shape?

### Follow-Up Questions:
1. How do you define a line of symmetry?
2. Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?
3. What type of polygon is this shape in the image?
4. Does rotational symmetry differ from line symmetry?
5. What real-world examples of symmetry can you think of?

**Tip**: Always check both sides of a figure after folding along the line of symmetry to confirm that they are congruent.

Use the drop-down menus to explain whether any of the lines drawn on the figure are lines of symmetry. When a figure is folded on a line of symmetry, both parts match exactly.

This problem helps students identify lines of symmetry in a polygon using the labeled lines g, h, j, and k. Explore how to fold the shape along lines of symmetry and determine if both halves match exactly. Suitable for students in Grades 4-6, this geometry question builds understanding of reflectional symmetry.
