Symmetry

Answer

Symmetry refers to a part or parts of a figure that are repeated in some definite pattern. When a figure is made up of parts that repeat in a specific pattern, we say the figure has symmetry and is sy

Answer

A line of symmetry is a line that cuts a figure into two parts that exactly overlap when folded along that line. The two parts are called mirror halves because they are exact reflections of each other

Answer

A square has 4 lines of symmetry: 1) Vertical line through the middle, 2) Horizontal line through the middle, 3) Diagonal from one corner to opposite corner, 4) Other diagonal from remaining corners.

Answer

No, a rectangle that is not a square does not have diagonal lines of symmetry. When you fold along the diagonal, the two parts do not overlap completely. A rectangle has only 2 lines of symmetry - one

Answer

Reflection symmetry means that when a figure is reflected (or mirrored) along its line of symmetry, one part of the figure matches exactly with the other part. It's another way to describe line symmet

Answer

Rotational symmetry occurs when a figure looks exactly the same after being rotated by a certain angle about a fixed point. The fixed point about which rotation occurs is called the centre of rotation

Answer

An angle of symmetry (or angle of rotational symmetry) is the angle through which a figure can be rotated to look exactly the same as its original position. Every figure has 360° as an angle of symmet

Answer

A square has 4 angles of symmetry: 90° (quarter turn), 180° (half turn), 270° (three-quarter turn), and 360° (full turn). The smallest angle of symmetry is 90°.
