igreen · Answer

There are three types of symmetry.

Reflection Symmetry, a.k.a Line Symmetry

Rotational Symmetry

and Point Symmetry

anonymous · Answer

OK.

anonymous · Answer

I'm just having difficulty finding a good example between the different types of symmetry. I know how to tell if something has line symmetry, but I have difficulties with the other types of symmetry.

@Igreen So A, B, C, 0, 8, has line symmetry right? Am I correct.

anonymous · Answer

I don't understand plane and point though. :(

igreen · Answer

No..two of them don't..if you draw a line straight down from A, are both of the sides the same? |dw:1417610304852:dw|

anonymous · Answer

Yeah wouldn't both of the sides be similar?

igreen · Answer

Yep, you got it! They're just reflections of each other.

What about the letter B?|dw:1417610434741:dw|
Are the two sides the same?

anonymous · Answer

No they don't. When I drew the line it wasn't straight down it was side to side. Does it have to be vertical?  |dw:1417610559489:dw|
