We have a number of figures in mathematics that are so evenly balanced n different sizes and shapes. Let us observe the following figures – We can observe that for each figure the one half on one side of the dotted line is exactly identical to the one half on the other side of the dotted line. In other words, we can say that the two halves are mirr...
We say that a given line has a line of symmetry or it is symmetrical about a lineif the line divides a given figure into two identical halves. The line is called the axis of symmetry or line of symmetry.
There are two types of line symmetries according to which we can classify the symmetries in different geometrical figures. These types are – 1. Horizontal Lines of Symmetry 2. Vertical Line of Symmetry Let us discuss them in detail
A geometrical figure is said to have one line of symmetry if it is symmetrical about one line of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said to have two lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about two lines of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said to have three lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about three lines of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said to have four lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about four lines of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said to have five lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about five lines of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said of having six lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about six lines of axis only. Let us consider some examples.
A geometrical figure is said of having infinite lines of symmetry if it is symmetrical about infinite lines of the axis. Let us consider some examples.
Symmetry of a Line Segment: A line segment has two lines of symmetry, the segment itself and the perpendicular bisector of the segment. The above figure is symmetric along the perpendicular bisector ℓ .
A symmetric shape has identical parts that mirror each other across the line of symmetry. Let us take an example to understand how we can draw a symmetric shape. For example, one half of the symmetrical shape is given.
When an imaginary line is drawn through a shape to make one side of the line a true reflection of the other (and vice versa), the shape is known as symmetrical. Examples of objects in the real world that are symmetrical include snowflakes, the feathers of peacocks, and the wings of butterflies.
Line Symmetry. Line symmetry is a type of symmetry where one-half of the object reflects the other half of the object across the line. In simple words, we can say that when an object is divided into two equal parts with a line, then the two sides of the line look the same. It is also known as mirror symmetry or reflection symmetry.
