Draw a horizontal and/or vertical line of symmetry through the center of the shape. Show step. You can draw a vertical line as this divides the shape into two identical right triangles. Drawing a horizontal line does not divide the shape into two equal pieces, and is not a line of symmetry.
A figure or object has symmetry if a transformation (s) maps it back onto itself. Both plane and space figures may have symmetry. There are three basic types of symmetry: reflection, rotation, and point symmetry.
Draw a vertical line through the center and check for line symmetry. Draw a horizontal line through the marked center and check for line symmetry. Draw a line from each vertex through the center and check for symmetry. State the number of lines of symmetry.
Symmetry describes when several parts of an object are identical, such that it's possible to flip, spin, and/or move the object without ultimately changing what it looks like. Symmetry is extremely powerful and beautiful problem-solving tool and it appears all over the place: in art, architecture, nature, and all fields of mathematics!
Any object or shape which can be cut in two equal halves in such a way that both the parts are exactly the same is called symmetrical. The line which divides the shape is called the symmetry. So, if we place a mirror on the line of symmetry we can see the complete image.
A shape or an object has symmetry if it can be divided into two identical pieces. In a symmetrical shape, one-half is the mirror image of the other half. The imaginary axis or line along which the figure can be folded to obtain the symmetrical halves is called the line of symmetry.

When a horizontal line divides an object into two identical halves, it is called a horizontal line of symmetry. That means the horizontal line of symmetry goes from left to right (or vice versa) in an object.
