<\/p>\n
Line of Symmetry<\/h3>\n
An object is divided into two parts with the help of a line and the two parts are mirror images of an object, then it is called a line of symmetry. The line of symmetry is also called as \u2018axis of symmetry\u2019. The line may be either vertical or horizontal or diagonal.<\/p>\n
Vertical Line of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
The above figure shows the hexagonal image divided into two parts with the help of a vertical line. Here, the vertical line divides the above image into two parts and these two parts are mirror images for each other. That means, both the parts of an image are the same. This type of symmetry is called as Vertical line of Symmetry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Horizontal Line of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
The above diagram shows that the image is split into two parts with the help of a horizontal line. Here, the horizontal line dividing the above image into two parts, and these two parts are equal halves of the image. This type of symmetry is called a horizontal line of symmetry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Diagonal Line of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
From the above diagram, an image is divided into two equal halves by the diagonal line. These two equal halves are mirror images of each other. This type of line of symmetry is called as Diagonal Line of Symmetry.<\/p>\n
Again we have a number of types in line of symmetry. Yes, we can divide the image into a number of parts with the help of one line, two-line,s or more lines. Every part must be the mirror image of another.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
One Line of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
By using the vertical or horizontal or diagonal line, we need to divide the image into equal halves and it is called one line of symmetry. Above mentioned, vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines of symmetry are examples of one line of symmetry.<\/p>\n
Two Lines of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
Same like one line of symmetry, in two lines of symmetry also we can use the vertical or horizontal or diagonal lines but we need to use only two lines to divide the image equally. This type of line of symmetry is called Two lines of Symmetry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Infinite Lines of Symmetry<\/h4>\n
An image or object is divided into a number of parts with the help of a number of lines and these equal halves of the image. It is called Infinite Lines of Symmetry. These lines are either vertical or horizontal or diagonal lines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Some Other Types of Symmetry<\/h3>\n
We have different types of symmetries considered depending on the various cases. They are<\/p>\n
- \n
- Translational Symmetry<\/li>\n
- Rotational Symmetry<\/li>\n
- Reflexive Symmetry<\/li>\n
- Glide Symmetry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
1.Translational Symmetry<\/h4>\n
An object or image is moving forward or backward or changing the position from one place to another, but there is no change in the image or object. This type of Symmetry is called Translational Symmetry.<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-Translational-Symmetry.image-7-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n2.Rotational Symmetry<\/h4>\n
An object or image is rotated in a particular direction but the position of an object or image is identical to the origin of an image or object, then it is called rotational symmetry. It is also called radial symmetry.<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-Rotational-Symmetry.image-8.jpg\")
<\/p>\nFrom the above figure, we can observe the rotational symmetry. If you rotate the hexagonal object or image in a 60\u00b0 clockwise direction with respect to the origin, there is no change in the shape of an image. More Examples for Rotational Symmetry are Circle, Hexagonal, Square, Rectangle, and etc\u2026<\/p>\n
3.Reflexive Symmetry<\/h4>\n
Reflexive Symmetry is the same as a line of symmetry. Yes, in this type of symmetry one part of the image or object represents the mirror image of another part of the image. Reflexive Symmetry is also called a line of symmetry or mirror symmetry. The below figure is a better example of Reflexive symmetry.<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-Reflexive-Symmetry.image-9.jpg\")
<\/p>\nThe above object is divide into two parts and the left side part is the mirror image of the right side of the image.<\/p>\n
4.Glide Symmetry<\/h4>\n
It is the combination of both translation symmetry and reflection symmetry.<\/p>\n
Point Symmetry<\/h3>\n
When an object is in opposite direction, every part of the object must be matched with the original object. It is called Point Symmetry. It is the same as Rotational Symmetry, so we can call it Rotational Symmetry order 2.<\/p>\n

2. If the following figure shows a line of symmetry, then complete the figure?<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-line-of-symmetry.image-13.jpg\")
<\/p>\nSolution:
\nThe line of symmetry, vertical or horizontal line divides the image into two equal halves and two parts are look as same. So, the remaining part of the image also the same as the above figure. That is,
\n![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-line-of-symmetry.image-14.jpg\")
<\/p>\n3. Identify which of the following figure is the example for symmetry?<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-symmetry.image-15-300x212.jpg\")
<\/p>\nSolution:
\nIn the symmetry method, an image or object is divided into equal halves either it may be vertical lines or horizontal lines. Each part must be a mirror image of the other part of the image. That particular image, we can consider as the example for symmetry. In the above diagrams, figure \u2018c\u2019 is showing as an example of symmetry. In that one only, the image is divided into two equal halves and the remaining A and B are not divided into equal halves.<\/p>\n4. How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-symmetry.image-16.jpg\")
<\/p>\nSolution:
\n<\/strong>Four lines of symmetry. One horizontal line, one vertical line, and two diagonal lines.<\/p>\n5. Identify which of the following image indicates the rotational symmetry?<\/p>\n
![\"Types](\"https:\/\/www.worksheetsbuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Types-of-Symmetry.-Rotational-symmetry.image-17-295x300.jpg\")
<\/p>\nSolution:
\nBy moving in a forward or backward direction, an object or image will be in the same as the original image, which is called rotational symmetry. From the above, Figure (A) is the best example for Rotational symmetry.<\/p>\nFAQs on Types of Symmetry<\/h3>\n

3. What is a Line of Symmetry?<\/strong><\/p>\n
An object or image is divided into equal halves with horizontal or vertical or diagonal lines. But the left side of the image is the same as the right side of the image that is called a line of symmetry.<\/p>\n
4. What is Point Symmetry?<\/strong><\/p>\n
If we place the image or object in the opposite direction, then every part of the image must be matched with the equal distance that is called point symmetry.<\/p>\n
5. What is Asymmetric?<\/strong><\/p>\n
An object is divided into equal parts but the left side of the image is not the same as the right side of the image and it is called an asymmetric method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Symmetry is one of the important concepts of geometry. If one part of the object looks like the same as another part of the object when we turn, flip, or slide, then it is called symmetry. If an object is not looking like another part of the object then it is called asymmetric.
