Symmetry is a kind of spatial relationship between

shapes.A shape has line symmetry

when one half of it is the mirror image of the other

half.

AXIAL SYMMETRY

AXIAL SYMMETRYIt appears when the equal elements in a figure are equidistant. They are at the same distance from the straight line called symmetry axis, but opposed.

RADIAL SYMMETRY

RADIAL SYMMETRY

RADIAL SYMMETRYIt appears when each point of a figure corresponds with another point in the same figure. The opposing points are on the same line, opposed, and at the same distance of another point called centre of symmetry.

GEOMETRIC SYMMETRY

GEOMETRIC SYMMETRY

The main feature of geometric symmetry is the accuracy in the drawing of the points that are equidistant from the axis (axial figures) or symmetry centre (radial figures). To draw figures with geometric symmetry we use a square, a set square, a ruler and a pair of compasses.

APPARENT SYMMETRY

APPARENT SYMMETRYThe main feature of geometric symmetry is the accuracy in the drawing of the points that are equidistant from the axis (axial figures) or symmetry centre (radial figures). To draw figures with geometric symmetry we use a square, a set square, a ruler and a pair of compasses.
