It means 4 lines of symmetry as for example a square has 4 lines of symmetry


Why does a regular pentagon have a 5 fold rotational symmetry?

This is a little bit like asking why a square has four sides. A regular pentagon is defined in such a way as to require that it has 5-fold rotational symmetry.


How do you fold a paper to have ten squares?

Fold it 10 times....


If you fold a square piece of paper in half 5 times how many squares would you have?

The last fold will be ineffective in making squares. If you fold a square in half it becomes two rectangles - one on top of the other. This "square" (pardon me, but the site doesn't do accurate 'drawing') shows the folding process. |--------------------------------| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |........................................| |--------------------------------| when folded back, becomes |----------------| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |----------------| and when that is folded upwards, it becomes four squares |----------------| |....................| |....................| |....................| |....................| |----------------| The third fold makes eight rectangles.... |--------| |..........| |..........| |..........| |..........| |--------| And the fourth fold makes sixteen squares... |--------| |..........| |..........| |--------| Another fold - a fifth - would bring us back to rectangles again.
