A shape has Rotational Symmetry when it still looks the same after some rotation.

Learn about the different types of symmetry: Reflection Symmetry (sometimes called Line Symmetry or Mirror Symmetry), Rotational Symmetry and Point Symmetry.

A shape has Rotational Symmetry when it still looks the same after some rotation. As we rotate this image we find three different positions that each look the same.

The Line of Symmetry (also called the Mirror Line) can be in any direction. But there are four common directions, and they are named for the line they make on the standard XY graph.

Example: When cut at 45° the two halves of this card are exactly the same. In other words the view from 45°, and the opposite direction (which is 225°) are the same.

Examples of such questions are: Does it have rotational symmetry? Does it have reflection symmetry? Is it the net of an open box? Does it have point symmetry? The idea is to create a …

Rotation means turning around a center. The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same. Every point makes a circle around...

Here my dog Flame has her face made perfectly symmetrical with some photo editing. The white line down the center is the Line of Symmetry.
