Geometry and problem solving Symmetrical means that something is the same on two or more sides. A line of symmetry shows that the shape or picture is symmetrical. Fold the shape down the line of symmetry. mneofisy med oa The shape is the same on both sides. line of symmetry __ line of symmetry hh 1 Copy the shapes. Then draw a line of symmetry.
