Symmetry

Look at the butterfly shown below.

This butterfly has open wings. Here it has folded its wings.
We can see that both the wings match.

We can say that the butterfly is symmetrical because both its halves are exactly same.
A figure is said to be symmetrical if it can be folded on imaginary line to form two equal
halves which exactly fit on each other. This imaginary line is called the line of symmetry.

Look at the following objects or figures.

All these figures are symmetrical. The dotted lines show the lines of symmetry.

The figure which does not pose this property, that is, if it does not have a line of
symmetry, is called a asymmetrical figure.

Look at the following figures.

These shapes do not have line of symmetry. So, these are asymmetrical figures.
