      • A line of symmetry is a line that splits a design in half so that both of the halves are symmetrical (look the same on both sides). To create a line of symmetry, you need an anchor point. This is the point where the two halves of the design meet. The anchor point can be anywhere on the line of symmetry, but it’s usually in the middle!

  1. Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

  2. May 15, 2024 · A line of symmetry, also known as an axis of symmetry or mirror line, is a line that splits a shape or object into two identical and symmetrical halves. Each half mirrors the other, making them look like reflections of one another across the line which indicates that both parts of the shape would perfectly match.

  3. Lines of symmetry are straight lines that divide a shape into two equal parts where one part is an exact reflection of the other. E.g. A rectangle has two lines of symmetry (LoS) shown below using a dashed line.

    • Vertical Line of Symmetry
    • Horizontal Line of Symmetry
    • Diagonal Line of Symmetry

    It is an imaginary vertical line that goes from top to bottom (or vice-versa) in an object and divides it into right and left mirror halves. For example, a club shape has a vertical line of symmetry.

    It is an imaginary horizontal line that goes from right to left (or vice-versa) in an object and divides it into top and bottom mirror halves. For example, an arrow has a horizontal line of symmetry.

    It is an imaginary diagonal or skew line that goes slanting in an object and divides it into mirror halves, as in the case of a square.

  4. Two Lines Of Symmetry. In Maths, the line of symmetry is the line that passes through the center of the shape/object and divides the shape into identical halves. It is an imaginary line or axis of the object. The line of symmetry is also known as the axis of symmetry or the mirror line.

  5. When there is at least one line in an object that divides a figure into two halves such that one-half is the mirror image of the other half, it is known as line symmetry or reflection symmetry. The line of symmetry can be in any direction - horizontal, vertical, slanting, diagonal, etc.
