How many axes of symmetry has a equilateral triangle?
For an equilateral triangle, there are three axes of symmetry. A plane figure is symmetrical about the line l if, whenever P is a point of the figure, so too is P', where P' is the mirror-image of P in the line l. The line is called a line of symmetry (or axis of symmetry), and the figure is said to be a symmetrical by the reflection in the line l. An equilateral triangle with reflection symmetry has two halves that are mirror images of each other. If the shape is folded over its line of symmetry, the two halves of the shape match exactly. So, we can say that the two halves of an equilateral triangle are matched exactly only when its shape is folded over the lines of symmetry that passes through their vertixes and the midpoint of its sides. Thus, an equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry, and three angles of rotation. If you rotate any shape a full turn, it will look like it did before you rotated it. When you rotate a shape less than a full turn about its center point and it looks exactly as it did before you rotated it, it has rotation symmetry. In an equilateral triangle there are three places in the rotation where the triangle will look exactly the same as its starting position. If we turn the triangle one third of a full turn (60 degrees), the vertex 1 will be at position 3, vertex 2 will be at position 1, and vertex 3 will be at position 2, and the triangle will look like its starting position.
Is it plain mirror or concave mirror producing magnified real image?
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
What is reflection mean in geometry terms?
When a geometric shape gets reflected it is mirrored or reflected across one of it's lines. The shape dose not change shape or form, it is merely copied as if looking in a mirror. this is very right. NOT
A shape that has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
equilateral triangle
Having left and right halves that mirror each other?
An object or organism that has left and right halves that mirror each other is said to exhibit bilateral symmetry. This is a common characteristic of many animals, including humans. It means that if an imaginary line is drawn down the center of the organism, the two halves will be nearly identical in shape and size.
How do you find line symmetry?
Look at a shape and see if you can see that two halves mirror each other. To check, get a mirror and put it along this line. If the shape still looks the same using the mirror you have a line of symmetry. You can also trace half of the shape, turn the tracing paper over, put it on the other half of the shape and check it is the same. Yes another way to do it is think REFLECTION. If they are exactly the same, you have a line of symmetry!
How can you determine whether or not a polygon has symmetry?
Look at a shape and see if you can see that two halves mirror each other. To check, get a mirror and put it along this line. If the shape still looks the same using the mirror you have a line of symmetry. You can also trace half of the shape, turn the tracing paper over, put it on the other half of the shape and check it is the same. Yes another way to do it is think REFLECTION. If they are exactly the same, you have a line of symmetry!
What does it mean if a shape has 2 lines of symmetry what doe s this mean?
It means it has 2 lines of 'mirror images'
What does symmetrical mean?
symmetrical means * having similarity in size, shape, and relative position of corresponding partsWhen two halves of an object are mirror images of each other.go on google and type in define symmetrical. Symmetrical is a word used to describe an object or place that has two identical halves in both shape and size.Usually a human face,an egg,a ball,a pentagram,geometrical figures that sort of thing.Symmetrical means, a shape or figure cut to where the same shape/s is on both sides. For instance if you cut a circle in 2, you have a biosphere on both sides
How many images will be formed when two plane mirror are tilted at an angle of 60 degree and why?
5 images will be formed and how when two plane mirror are tilted at an angle of 60 degree
Is concave mirror in shape of parabola?
no concave mirror is in shape of concave mirror
Is a dome house Symmetrical or Asymmetrical?
Symmetrical. A symmetrical shape is simply one that when cut, or folded, in half, the one half can reflect the other half. So, each half looks the same, but as a mirrored reflection of the other. On the other hand, something that is of irregular shape - which is not symmetrical in that when cut into halves in any plane at all, the pieces are not a mirror reflection of one another - is referred to as "asymmetrical". A dome house is of symmetrical shape.
What axis is the axis of symmetry?
An Axis of Symmetry is any line along which any Graph, group of graphs, or other shape may be divided into two symmetrical pieces which are perfect mirror images of one another.
What is a line that will divide a shape in to two exact halves?
a diameter for a circle possibly a bisector for other shapes
Do concave mirrors reflect sharp images?
It depends on the precise shape of the mirror. What's generally meant by "sharp image" is that the light rays focus at a single point. If the curvature of the mirror is variable, this doesn't happen.
