Bilateral symmetry means something has symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
It is just like the line of symmetry in maths for 2D shapes such as an oblong or isosceles triangle.
Examples of organisms that have bilateral symmetry are all mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, as well as insects, e.g. ants and butterflies; arachnids, e.g. Spiders and crustaceans, e.g. crabs and lobsters.

How Many axes of symmetry are there on a pentagon?
5, one through each vertex, bi-secting the opposite side.
What is Redial Symmetry?
A redial symmetry mean a crcluclim or pattern.
When two halves of a figure match the figure is said to have what type of symmetry?
Bilateral symmetry. Think of bi- meaning "two", and lateral meaning "pertaining to the side." Therefore, it is symmetric for two sides.
What number does bi mean?
2
What does it mean for a figure to have rotation symmetry?
Untitled
Do amphibians have radial symmetry or bilateral symmetry?
Bi-Lateral.
What kind of symmetry do daddy long legs have?
Bi-lateral symmetry
Organisms that lack symmetry are termed?
Asymmetrical are organisms, such as sponges, that have no true symmetry.
What kind of symmetry does nematoda?
It has bi-lateral symmetry, although it's so simple a creature you could almost argue for radial symmetry.
What is a bi-axial symmetry?
Bi-axial symmetry refers to an object or organism that can be divided into two equal halves in two different ways, resulting in two possible lines of symmetry. This characteristic is commonly found in certain crystals and some sea creatures.
What line of symmetry does the hookworm have?
The hookworm does not have a line of symmetry because its body is not symmetrical in shape.
Does 1356531 have a bilateral symmetry?
No, It does not have bilateral symmetry because we cannot divide into two equal parts as "Bi" means two. For Ex:- 1331 = 13|31
How Many axes of symmetry are there on a pentagon?
5, one through each vertex, bi-secting the opposite side.
What is Redial Symmetry?
A redial symmetry mean a crcluclim or pattern.
Does a square have rational symmetry?
if you mean rotational symmetry then yes, rotational symmetry of order 4
