What Is Symmetry

Symmetry is when one shape is exactly like another shape when moved, rotated, or flipped. For example, when cutting out a heart shape, folding the paper in half will result in one half being the mirror image of the other. Symmetry exists when an image looks identical after being turned or flipped, making it a balanced and proportionate similarity between two halves where one is the mirror image of the other. Symmetric objects can be found all around us in nature, architecture, and art.

What is symmetry?

• In Mathematics, a meaning of symmetry defines that one shape is exactly like the
other shape when it is moved, rotated, or flipped. Consider an example, when you
are told to cut out a ‘heart’ from a piece of paper, don’t you simply fold the paper,
draw one-half of the heart at the fold and cut it out to find that the other half
exactly matches the first half? The heart carved out is an example of symmetry.

• Symmetry Math definition states that “symmetry is a mirror image”. When an


image looks identical to the original image after the shape is being turned or
flipped, then it is called symmetry. It exists in patterns. You may have often heard
of the term ‘symmetry’ in day to day life. It is a balanced and proportionate
similarity found in two halves of an object, that is, one-half is the mirror image of
the other half. And a shape that is not symmetrical is referred to as asymmetrical.
Symmetric objects are found all around us, in nature, architecture, and art.
