a diameter for a circle
possibly a bisector for other shapes
They occur when you divide something on a line of symmetry.
means that you can divide the shape in half and both halfs will be the same exactly
diameter. a radius doesn't even run through a circle. a circumference is the line that surrounds the circle.
a line
line symmetry
A symmetrical shape has equally matching parts when divided into halves. The dotted lines that divide the shapes into equal halves is called a line symmetry.
A line of Symmetry.
They occur when you divide something on a line of symmetry.
If you take a circle for example, a line of symmetry is any line that can go through that circle and if you fold the circle in half it will be equal. So a line of symmetry is a line that you divide any shape in half with and have both halves be the same.
by divide in two halves equal
To bisect is to cut or divide into halves. A bisecting line would then be a line that divides another line in half or a line that divides an angle in half.
An eclipse has one symmetrical line, which is the line of symmetry that divides the shape into two equal halves.
line of symmetry
The "Line of Symmetry" is the imaginary line where you could fold the image or shape and have both halves match exactly one half is a reflection of the other
means that you can divide the shape in half and both halfs will be the same exactly
It is the exact point in the middle of the line segment. Add the 'x' values together , and divide by 2 ,and then add the 'y' values and divide by 2. This will give you the median of a line segment.
Not really, a line of symmetry is where the shape is identical on both halves. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry. Any line passing through the circle's center is a line of symmetry.
