Identifying Lines of Symmetry in Geometry

The video tutorial introduces the concept of lines of symmetry, focusing on fourth-grade standards in Texas. It uses a problem from the 2017 STAAR test to explore horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry. The tutorial explains symmetry as an imaginary line that bisects a figure into equal halves. It then analyzes four figures to determine which have both horizontal and vertical symmetry, concluding that figures M and P meet the criteria.
