A line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a shape into two equal halves, with each half being a mirror image of the other. When a shape has at least one line of symmetry, it means that the shape can be folded along that line and the two halves will perfectly overlap each other.
Here are some key points to remember about lines of symmetry:
There are different methods to identify the lines of symmetry in a shape:
Let's look at some common shapes and their lines of symmetry:
Now, let's try some practice questions to test your understanding of lines of symmetry:
By understanding and identifying lines of symmetry, you can analyze and appreciate the symmetry present in various shapes and objects around you. Keep practicing and exploring different shapes to improve your understanding of this concept.
