What is line symmetry?

Back

Line symmetry occurs when a figure can be divided into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other along a line.

Front

What is rotational symmetry?

Back

Rotational symmetry is when a figure can be rotated around a central point and still look the same at certain angles.

Front

What is point symmetry?

Back

Point symmetry exists when every part of a figure has a matching part at an equal distance from a central point, but in the opposite direction.

How can you determine if a shape has line symmetry?

Back

To determine line symmetry, you can draw a line through the shape and see if both sides are mirror images.

Front

What is an example of a shape with line symmetry?

Back

A square has line symmetry because it can be divided into equal halves by multiple lines.

Front

Which letters of the alphabet have vertical line symmetry?

Back

The letters B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X, and V have vertical line symmetry.

Front

What is the significance of the line of symmetry in geometry?

Back

The line of symmetry helps in understanding the balance and proportion of shapes.

Front

Can a shape have more than one line of symmetry?

Back

Yes, some shapes, like a rectangle, can have multiple lines of symmetry.

Front

What is an example of a shape with rotational symmetry?

Back

A circle has infinite rotational symmetry because it looks the same at any angle of rotation.

Front

How do you find the order of rotational symmetry?

Back

The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times a shape fits onto itself during a full rotation of 360 degrees.
