Best Answer

Geometrical symmetry is a mathematical term for a shape that, if torn in half, can be mirrored and restored to the shape again.

What is the math definition for symmetry?

a geometrical or other regularity that is possessed by a mathematical object and is characterized by the operations that leaves the object in variant:

A mirror image of an object is said to have a line of symmetry


What is a lateral symmetry?

Something that is symmetrical along a line. Like you could fold it in half and it would be the same. Like a rorschach inkblot. A butterfly. A person. The other kind of symmetry is radial symmetry, which is symmetrical from a point. Like a starfish. I think things that are radially symmetrical are always also laterally symmetrical, but there could be some weird exception to that that I can't think of.

Both sides are the same, and this is called bilateral (two-sided) symmetry.


Which geometrical shape has lines of symmetry that bisect each other?

Rectangles, circles, and all regular polygons with even numbers of sides have.A pedant adds:Not strictly true because a line of symmetry is an infinite line, it is not just the segment that is within the shape. And an infinite line cannot be bisected.
