What is the definition for a line symmetry?

The "Line of Symmetry" is the imaginary line where you could fold the image or shape and have both halves match exactly one half is a reflection of the other


A shape that can be cut into two halves that are exactly the same?

Im not to sure if I get what you mean by this but i think that you mean that what shape can be cut in half evenly? If this is the case then it is any shape really unless it is irregular.


A shape that has two halves that are mirror images of each other?

equilateral triangle


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!

What does symmetrical?

It means that a shape is exactly like another shape if you flip it over or turn it around. Think of the two sides of a circle or the two halves of a clam.

Divides two congruent halves?

congruent halves are just a posh way of saying 'split in two'. but these two shapes must be identical in shape, size, angles, sides etc... they must be exactly the same.


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


What shape has four squares?

There is no solid shape with exactly four squares and no other faces.

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.


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
