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.

∙ 8y agoFor a 2-dimensional object, a line of symmetry is a line such that, if you were to fold the object along that line, the two sides would match up exactly.
For a 3-dimensional object, a line (axis) of symmetry is a line such that, if you were to rotate the object around it, its shape would remain the same.
