There are 4 types of symmetry, reflection, transition, glide reflection, and rotation. They all basically mean the same thing, except they are figured out differently.
All regular shapes have a line of symmetry. But you can get rid of its line of symmetry by making it irregular (so the angles aren't the same).
No, the centre of symmetry is a point usually somewhere in the middle of an object around which things like rotational or reflection occurs. Inversion symmetry is a sort of symmetry itself and not a point like the centre.
All regular polygons A polygon is symmetrical if its sides that cross the line of symmetry are halved by the line of symmetry and if the sides that do not cross the line of symmetry have the same positions in space, the same lengths, and the same angles with their neighboring sides as do the sides on the other side of the line of symmetry. The only symmetrical triangles are isosceles triangles (equilateral triangles are isosceles). The only symmetrical quadrilaterals are squares, rectangles, rhombi (the line of symmetry connects either pair of opposite corners), isosceles trapezoids, and kites.
Depending on the triangle, there can be 0, 1, or three lines of symmetry. A scalene triangle (all sides of different lengths) will have no lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle (exactly two sides of the same length) will have one line of symmetry, and an equilateral triangle (all three sides of the same length) will have three lines of symmetry.

yes it does.....if u flip it side it has the same reflection
Yes
Yes, they are the same.
A pentagon does have reflective symmetry.
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!-Cupcake399
Line or reflective symmetry is really a special case of rotational symmetry but from a different viewpoint. In line symmetry imagine a line going north to south on the page. If you rotate an image out of the page around that line through 180 degrees you get a reflection. For rotational symmetry imagine that same line being perpendicular to the page so that you see it as a dot. The image is then rotated around that dot.
A figure has linear symmetry when after reflection, the image looks exactly the same as the original
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!
