SYMMETRY
 WHAT IS SYMMETRY?
• The quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing
each other or around an axis.
• It indicates that you can draw an imaginary line across an
object and the resulting parts are mirror images.
EXAMPLES OF SYMMETRY
 LINE OR BILATERAL SYMMETRY

• It is evident in most animals, including humans, which the

left and right portions of the body are exactly the same.

 ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY

• Rotating by several degrees of a figure, it can still achieve

the same appearance as the original position.
• The smallest angle that a figure can be rotated while
preserving the original formation is called the angle of
rotation.
 EXAMPLES OF ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY

• Spiderwort – has a angle of • Baby Star Fish – has a angle

rotation of 120 of rotation of 72
 ORDER OF ROTATION

• It is a common way to describe Rotational Symmetry.

• A figure has a rotational symmetry of order n (n-fold
rotational symmetry) if 1/n of a complete turn leaves the
figure unchanged.
• Using the formula, Angle of Rotation =
 EXAMPLE
Snowflake is a six-fold symmetry, to determine of its angle
of rotation, we simply use;
Angle of Rotation =
=
Angle of Rotation of Snowflake = 60

Many combinations and complex shapes of snowflakes

may occur, which lead some people to think that “no two
are alike”. If you look closely, however, many snowflakes
are not perfectly symmetric due to the effects of humidity
and temperature on the ice crystal as it forms.
