Lines of symmetry 2023

What is a line of symmetry???

A line of symmetry is a line that cuts a shape exactly in half AND if you were to fold the shape along the line, both halves would match exactly.

• If a figure has at least one line of symmetry, it is symmetric

• If it does not have any line of symmetry, it is NOT symmetric (asymmetric)

Multiple Choice

Is this a line of symmetry for the figure????

• Yes

• No

Although the line divides the rectangle into 2 equal halves,

when folded along the line, they do not fit exactly

Let's recap!

• A line of symmetry

• 1) divides a shape exactly in HALF

• 2) each half will FIT EXACTLY with the other half when folded along the line
