Some points on one side of a line of symmetry do not coincide with points on the other side of it?

False. The definition of a symmetrical shape is that the points on one side coincide with the points on the other.

Does a starfish have any symmetry?
Starfish tend to have pentamerous radial symmetry. In other words, the typical starfish has five lines of symmetry throughout their body. Some species have more lines because they have more arms.
Do quadrilaterals have symmetry?
Some have symmetry , but not all !!! Square, Rectangle, Rhombus, Kite all have symmetry. A trapezium can be both asymmetric, and symmetric.
What are some examples of symmetry in math?
The axis of symmetry. Which is a line that you can reflect two functions of off the axis of symmetry.
When do you say if the object is symmetrical?
If it has a line of symmetry; if it can be "cut in half" and both halves looks identical. For example, if you imagine a square, then imagine a line straight down the middle, each side of the line is identical to the other. That line is the "line of symmetry". Some objects can have many lines of symmetry, some have none. Hnefatl
Can a quadrilateral have two lines of symmetry?
Yes. Some example of this are:Rectangles (at least 2 lines of symmetry)Squares (4 lines of symmetry)Rhombuses (at least 2 lines of symmetry)
Does the needle in a compass always point south?
One side of the needle points north. This is the one that is usually considered, so you would say that the "needle points north", but of course, the other side points south. The part that points north is usually specially marked. The magnetic compass reacts to Earth's magnetic field, which doesn't exactly coincide with Earth's rotation, so there may be some deviation, that is, it may not point exactly north.

What is the relationship between lift and gravity?
If these two points do not coincide the two forces will also produce a couple that will rotate the body of the plane. If they do coincide the plane will rise, fall or stay at the same height without rotating about some axis. So yaw, pitch or roll is effected by offsetting the centre of pressure in the required direction with respect to the com

The axis of symmetry. Which is a line that you can reflect two functions of off the axis of symmetry.
What type of symmetry do sea urchins have?
Seahorses are fish; therefore, like all vertebrates, they have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
Which type of symmetry does the tessellated plane have?
There are several different types of symmetry. Some of these include reflectional symmetry or rotational symmetry. It depends on how the plane has been tessellated.
Do tortoises have bilateral symmetry?
Yes. Turtles, like all reptiles and other vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means something has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

What is an animal that is an invertebrate and has bilateral symmetry?
All arthropods, which are invertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. Arthropods include all insects, centipedes, millipedes, crustaceans and arachnids. Bilateral symmetry means something has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of bilateral symmetry in an octopus?
they actually have radial symmetry...
