A line of symmetry cuts the shape in half or into sections evenly so if you were to fold against the line it would be even on either side

What is lines of symmetry?

A line of symmetry is a line through a shape. It shows that on either side of this line that the picture is exactly the same. There can be more than one line of symmetry in a shape.They are 'mirror images' when a shapes are divided by a lines of symmetry.


What is the difference between line symmetry and line of symmetry?

A symmetrical shape is said to have line symmetry. A shape that has line symmetry can have one or more lines of symmetry


A shape that has at least one line of symmetry?

a shape with a line of symmetry


Draw a shape with two lines of symmetry?

A line of symmetry can be thought of as the line where you could cut a shape (or a line or any object) and it would look the exact same on both sides. An example of a shape with exactly two lines of symmetry would be a rectangle. A square also has at least two lines of symmetry, but it actually has four total.


Can a shape have rotational symmetry and line symmetry?

Yes. Any equilateral shape can have both rotational and line symmetry.


What is the definition of a line of symmetry?

The definition of a line of symmetry is a line that can be draw down the center of any shape or object to show mirror image of the other side. where each side is a mirror image of the other side.


What shape has a line of symmetry?

A triangle has symmetry.


How do you find the line of syMmetry?

The line of symmetry in a shape is found be looking at the sides of the shape. If you see that two sides look the same, try to draw a straight line through them. The line of symmetry acts like the dotted line in which you fold you paper. If you can fold the shape across the line of symmetry, and the shape is exactly the same on both sides then you have found A line of symmetry.
