Symmetry can make things more stable by having a balance of mass and structure.
For example:
If an upper floor that is square in plan is supported symmetrically by four columns, one at each corner, it will be stable. If it is supported by three columns at three of the four corners, the columns and floor will all need to be stronger to resist the extra load that the asymmetrical design puts on the structure.
If an upper floor is supported by a single column at the centre of the floor, the structural design will be balanced. If the column is positioned off-centre, the column and floor will again need to be stronger to resist the extra load that the asymmetrical design puts on the structure.
In an earthquake, symmetry make the reistance to earthquake forces easier by reducing the unbalancing effect of torsional or twisting forces.

What is the comparative form the word 'stable'?
"Stabler" is not incorrect, but "more stable" is usually preferred for reasons of euphony.
What is Georgia O'Keeffe's 'White Trumpet Flower' about?
It is about a White Trumpet Flower. Dont't make things more complicated than they are!
What is the meaning behind van goghs work?
They mean exactly what you see. Do not make things more difficult than they are!
What improvements have been to made to buildings and other structures to make them more seismic safe?
Numerous things have been done to make buildings more structurally sound including the addition of wheels under the foundation to allow movement of the building
What are the 3 conditions that make an object stable?
Low center of gravity: Objects are more stable when their center of gravity is closer to the base of support. Wide base of support: Objects are more stable when they have a wider base to distribute weight and resist tipping over. Symmetry: Objects with symmetrical shapes are typically more stable than asymmetrical objects.
Why do you use gradual build up?
to make things more sturdy and stable/safe compact.(for construction)
Can a octangon and a square make a figure with two or more lines of symmetry?
No.
What is the significance of the internal plane of symmetry in determining the structural properties of a molecule?
The internal plane of symmetry in a molecule indicates that the molecule is symmetrical when divided along that plane. This symmetry affects the molecule's structural properties by influencing its stability, reactivity, and overall shape. Molecules with internal symmetry tend to be more stable and have predictable properties compared to asymmetrical molecules.
How did Ramses make Egypt more stable?
Ramses made egypt more stable by being a ruler for 66 years

What is the difference between line symmetry and line of symmetry?
A symmetrical shape is said to have line symmetry. A shape that has line symmetry can have one or more lines of symmetry
What three letters of the alphabet have 180 degree rotational symmetry?
H, I, N, S, X and Z. I make that 6, not 3! And O has 180 degree symmetry and more!
Shapes with more than 4 lines of symmetry?
A regular hexagon has more than 4 lines of symmetry. Even number sided polygons that are regular and have more than 4 sides have more than 4 lines of symmetry. Circles have more than four lines of symmetry. Squares also have 4 lines of symmetry.
How can sumo wrestlers make themselves more stable?
Lowering their center of gravity. That is the reason they 'squat' when squaring off, the lower they have their base, the more stable they are.
What have 4 lines of symmetry?
a square can have 4 lines of symmetry or more
