Line symmetry is like with butterflies or flowers, where you can slice a straight line through the midpoint of a shape, and have both sides be identical.
Reflectional symmetry is where lets say to have half of a ♥. If you shined a reflection, an exact reflection, you would have line symmetry.
In some terms, they are the same. In some terms, they are both linked together. In some terms, they are used completely different from each other. It's all about the situation you have symmetrical-wise.
Hope this helps!

∙ 13y agoAn image has Reflectional Symmetry if there is at least one line which splits the image in half so that one side is the mirror image of the other. Reflectional symmetry is also called line symmetry or mirror symmetry because there is a line in the figure where a mirror could be placed, and the figure would look the same.
Reflection symmetry, reflectional symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, or bilateral symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection
No, it has seven.
Um, it's the exact matching of parts on either side of a straight line, so it's exactly the same either side. I think It's sometimes called line symmetry, mirror symmetry or bilateral symmetry!
no because if you rotate a rectangle it is not the same

None normally unless it's in the form of an isosceles trapezoid which has 1 line of symmetry.
Yes it does. A regular hexagon will have both rotational and reflectional symmetry about its centre.
Reflectional only.Reflectional only.Reflectional only.Reflectional only.
A pentagon does have reflective symmetry.
It means literally if you reflected the object through the centre of the image, at a specific angle, in a mirror you would get the same image on the mirror with that on the other side. So or example the letter A has one line of reflectional symmetry because if you put a mirror vertically along it, you would see the same image on the mirror as the side that you weren't looking at.
