+ Imaginary Line That Divides

A Figure Into Two Identical
Halves Is Called The Line Of
Symmetry Or Axis Of
Symmetry Of That Figure
Shapes With
One Line Of
Symmetry
+ A Line Of Symmetry Is A
Line That Cuts A Shape
Exactly In Half. This
Means That If You Were
To Fold The Shape Along
The Line, Both Halves
Would Match Exactly.
Shapes With
Two Lines Of
Symmetry
Shapes That Have 2 Lines Of
Symmetry
Points To Remember
+ An Equilateral Triangle Has Three Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Square Has Four Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Pentagon Has 5 Lines Of Symmetry
+ A Hexagon Has 6 Lines Of Symmetry
