@jim_thompson5910 can you help?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

any idea on any these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on "A" i think its line and plane

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

line symmetry for "A" is correct, but how did you get plane symmetry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was an educated guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its just line for a?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Plane symmetry is symmetry that's with respect to the plane (so think of the entire plane as a mirror). So imagine you're standing above a flat lake and you stare down to see your reflection. This would be example of plane symmetry.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So basically plane symmetry applies to 3-dimensional settings

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so yes, it's just line symmetry for "A"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok.. same for b?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Yes, you can draw a horizontal line through the middle of B and it will look like the top half reflects over that line to form the bottom half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it point too?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Can you rotate "B" 180 degrees about any point on "B" and it matches up perfectly?
