14 Symmetry
Looking Back
Draw two figures having lines of symmetry.
1. 2.
Symmetry is when a shape looks identical to its original shape after being flipped or
turned. Thus, symmetry is a mirror image. Symmetry exists everywhere in our life.
Symmetry exists in patterns. The line of symmetry or reflection symmetry divides the
shape into two identical parts. The line of symmetry can be vertical, horizontal or
diagonal.
The letters A, M and U has vertical symmetry while B and K have horizontal symmetry. S
and Z have point symmetry. But the letters F, G, P and R have no symmetry.
