Overview

Symmetry is a property of a figure in which two parts match exactly. A figure is symmetric about a line if that line divides it into two identical parts, and folding the figure about that line makes the two parts coincide exactly. Symmetry also appears in reflection and rotation, where shapes keep t

Key Concepts

A line of symmetry is

A line of symmetry is a line passing through a figure that divides it into two identical parts. When the figure is folded along this line, both parts

A line segment is symmetrical about

A line segment is symmetrical about its perpendicular bisector. An angle with equal arms is symmetrical about the bisector of the angle. A scalene tri

Reflection means finding the mirror image

Reflection means finding the mirror image of a point across a line or axis. In the x-axis, the y-value changes sign and the image of P(x, y) is P'(x,

The point (3

The point (3, 0) remains (3, 0) when reflected in the x-axis. The image of (3, 0) in the y-axis is (-3, 0). The point (0, 0) remains (0, 0) in reflect

Rotation means turning a figure about

Rotation means turning a figure about a fixed point. The fixed point is called the centre of rotation. During rotation, the shape and size of the figu
