- Symmetrical - Glossary Term
Line symmetry
A plane figure F has line symmetry in a line m if the image of F under the reflection in m is F itself. The line m is called the axis of symmetry.
Rotational symmetry
A plane figure F has rotational symmetry about a point O if there is a non-trivial rotation such that the image of F under the rotation is F itself.
A rotation of 120o around O moves the equilateral triangle onto itself.
