• known as line symmetry or mirror symmetry
• 2 types – water image, mirror image

Water image

turns figures upside

down.
Mirror image

Mirror image
inverts figures.
 Rotational symmetry
• property a shape has when it looks the same after some
rotation by a partial turn
• object's degree of rotational symmetry is the number of
distinct orientations in which it looks exactly the same for each
