Maths Project: Symmetry
- 1. MATHS PROJECT ON SYMMETRY PRESENTED BY: RIYA BEN VII G ROLL NO. 37
- 2. WHAT IS SYMMETRY? If two or more parts of a figure are identical after folding or flipping then it is said to be symmetry. To be symmetrical, the two halves of a shape must be of same shape and size. The concept of symmetry is commonly found in geometry.
- 3. LINE OF SYMMETRY The imaginary line that divides an object into two identical pieces is called as line of symmetry. It is also called the axis of symmetry. • Eg. If we fold a figure in half along its line of symmetry, we will notice that both the halves match each other exactly. AXIS OF SYMMETRY
- 4. SYMMETRY IS WHERE SOMETHING IS THE SAME ON BOTH SIDES; THEN IT WOULD BE SAID TO BE SYMMETRICAL. LET’S HAVE A DISCUSSION ON FEW TYPES OF SYMMETRY: • Linear symmetry • Rotational symmetry • Reflection symmetry
- 5. LINEAR SYMMETRY A figure is said to be symmetrical if the line divides the figure into two or more identical parts. Shapes or figures may have horizontal, vertical, both horizontal and vertical, infinite and no line of symmetry.
- 6. ROTATIONAL SYMMETRY The centre of the shape is the point about which the shape is rotated; it is called the centre of rotation. CENTRE OF ROTATION
- 7. REFLECTION SYMMETRY Reflection symmetry is a type of symmetry which is with respect to reflections. Reflection symmetry is also known as line symmetry or mirror symmetry. It states that if there exists at least one line that divides a figure into two halves such that one-half is the mirror image of the other half.
