- A 2D shape is symmetrical if a line can be drawn through it and either side is a reflection of the other. You would call this the line of symmetry. If you put a mirror on this line, you would see the whole shape in the reflection. That’s why a line of symmetry is sometimes called the mirror line.

Here you will learn about lines of symmetry, including symmetry properties within polygons, angle properties, and symmetry of different line graphs. Students first learn about line symmetry in grade 4 with their work with 2D shapes in geometry.

The very first thing to check is that the object tends to have a reflection of one-half. Imagine folding a rhombus or square along each line of symmetry and each of the half matching up perfectly, then this is symmetry. Thus, a shapehas to have at least one line of symmetry to be considered as a shape with line symmetry or mirror symmetry. It is kn...
A square has 4 lines of symmetry, which are lines through the opposite vertices, and the lines through the midpointsof opposites sides make up the four lines of symmetry. So, a square has 1 vertical, 1 horizontal, and 2 diagonal lines of symmetry.
A rectanglehas two lines of symmetry, that is lines through the midpoints of opposites sides. When a rectangle is folded across its diagonals, the shape is not symmetrical. So, a rectangle has just 1 vertical and 1 horizontal line of symmetry.
The line symmetry in a triangledepends upon its sides. If a triangle is scalene, then it has no line symmetry. If a triangle is isosceles, then it has at least one line of symmetry, and if the triangle is equilateral, then it has three lines of symmetry.
Since an infinite number of lines can be drawn inside a circlepassing through its center, therefore a circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. In coordinate geometry, a parabola has a line symmetry and its line of symmetry passes through its vertex. For a parabola with quadratic equation y = ax2+ bx + c, the line symmetry equation is of ...
Aug 22, 2021 · A line of symmetry is a line that cuts a shape in half. The shape will look the same on both sides of the line of symmetry. We can mark lines of symmetry using a dashed line drawn on the shape. We can find lines of symmetry using a mirror.
You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it. When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry. Here I have folded a rectangle one way, and it didn't work .
A circle has infinite lines of symmetry since any line drawn through its center will divide the circle into identical halves. The figure above just shows a few lines of symmetry. As long as a given line passes through the center of the circle, it is a line of symmetry.
A given line has a line of symmetry or it is symmetrical about a line if 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 lien symmetries according to which we can classify the symmetries in different geometrical figures – Horizontal Lines of ...
Symmetry defines that the shape is identical on both sides when it is divided by a line. The symmetry of different shapes, regular or irregular. Learn about the symmetry of shapes with examples at BYJU’S.
