If they are completely mirror images, then it would be Perfect Symmetry, as long as both pieces are congruent.

When two halves are mirror images they have what symmetry?
They have axial symmetry.
What type of symmetry do most animals have?
Most animals have bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry means that if you draw a line from head to tail right down the middle of the body, you would have two halves the same but mirror images.
What is a line of symmetry?
A line of symmetry divides a figure into two halves that are the mirror images of each other.Fold a square sheet of paper exactly in half. When you unfold the paper you will see the crease down the center. That is an example of a line of symmetry. Both sides of an object must be equal to be symmetrical. Let's do a construction taking off on this idea. You've probably already done it at one time or another.Fold that piece of paper, and take a pair of scissors and cut half a heart out of it using the crease as a line going down the "middle" of the heart. Unfold the finished construction. You'll have a heart and that fold you made in the paper is the line of symmetry for the figure. The line of symmetry divides any shape into mirror images.
How is symmetry used in everyday life?
Symmetry is often seen everyday by people of all ages in nature. Symmetry that we see everyday in nature is most often Bilateral Symmetry. This means that the two halves of an object are exactly mirror images of each other. Symmetry in humans the human face has a line of symmetry in some places, but some faces are more symmetrical than others. The more symmetrical your face the prettier your face will appear. A perfect example of this is supermodels and actresses. Another example of human symmetry is the kidneys, lungs, and the brain. If you draw a line or slice these organs in half, you will have a mirror image of the other. In flowers there are roughly identical petals, sepals, stamens, and leaves. While at the beach there are a wide variety of shells and underwater life with a line of symmetry, an example of this is a crab, a lobster, octopus, and starfish. Crystal G.
What do the four lines of symmetry of a rectangle look like?
Unless the rectangle is a square, it only has two lines of symmetry. Please refer to the Related Link below to see diagrams of both rectangles and squares with lines of symmetry drawn. The images are near the bottom of the page.

What does line of symmetry?

What is the line that divides a figure into two matching parts?
It is a line of symmetry.
When two halves are mirror images they have what symmetry?
They have axial symmetry.
What is a body plan with 1 line of symmetry and the two halves are mirror images called?
bilateral symmetry
What is the axis symmetry of a letter?
A line that divides the letter so that the 2 halves are mirror images. Ex. The letter V ... A vertical line thru the bottom makes 2 parts that are mirror images, so that vertical line is the axis of symmetry. But.. A Capital E would not have a vertical axis of symmetry. Capital E would have a horizontal line splitting thru the middle line as its axis of symmetry.
Symmetry in which an organism's body has two halves that are mirror images of each other?
I think its bilateral
What is a linear symmetry?
It is called line symmetry when we can actually draw a line down the middle of a figure that divides the figure into two mirror images.
What is the giraffes symmetry?
A giraffes symmetry is the same as a human's, bilateral symmetry. drawing a line down the one plane through the central axis produces two halves that are mirror images of each other.
Describe the different types of symmentery?
The different types of symmetry are rotational symmetry whereby the various object parts are related by rotation angles, and reflectional symmetry where halves of the object form the mirror images.
