\r\n Symmetry\r\n
\r\n
\r\n In mathematics, a shape or an object is said to have symmetry if it could be folded in half such that one half is the mirror image of the other half.\r\n This means — if we place a mirror along the fold line, the image of the left half in the mirror will be identical to the right half.\r\n A shape that has symmetry is known as a symmetrical shape. The fold line, which is the plane of mirror, is known as line of symmetry.\r\n

\r\n Common Examples of Symmetric Shapes\r\n

\r\n - \n
Square
\r\n Take a square and fold it along one of its diagonals. You will notice that the two halves are identical to each other.\r\n \r\n - \n
Equilateral Triangle
\r\n You can fold an equilateral triangle along the line connecting any of its corner to the mid-point of the opposing side — two halves will be identical.\r\n \r\n - \n
Regular Hexagon
\r\n A hexagon can be folded along a line connecting any two opposite corners, and two halves will be identical to each other.\r\n \r\n - \n
Circle
\r\n A circle can be folded along any of its diameter, and the two halves will be identical.\r\n \r\n
