Can you have line of symmetry but not rotational symmetry?

Yes, it is possible to have a shape that has a line of symmetry but does not have rotational symmetry. An example is the letter "K", which has a vertical line of symmetry but cannot be rotated to match its original orientation.


What is a line of symmetry in a shape?

A line of symmetry in a shape is an imaginary line that divides the shape into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. When a shape is folded along its line of symmetry, both sides match perfectly.


What is symmetry and plane symmetry?

There are three elements of symmetry: 1-axis of symmetry It's a line which cuts the molecule into two equal halves. 2-plane of symmetry It's a plane which cuts the molecule into two equal halves (such as 'axis of symmetry' but axis is a line and here it's a plane). 3-center of symmetry It's a point in space that, if you draw a line from any part to it, and then extend the line beyond it, another atom will be encountered.


What is a lateral symmetry?

Something that is symmetrical along a line. Like you could fold it in half and it would be the same. Like a rorschach inkblot. A butterfly. A person. The other kind of symmetry is radial symmetry, which is symmetrical from a point. Like a starfish. I think things that are radially symmetrical are always also laterally symmetrical, but there could be some weird exception to that that I can't think of.


How many lines divide an animal with bilateral symmetry?

No, radial symmetry has the one with many lines.

Does every figure have a line of symmetry?

Shapes do not always have lines of symmetry. For example, if you have an irregular shape, it will not have a line of symmetry. I am quite certain though that all geometric shapes have a line of symmetry.


What is a real life example for a line segment?

A rainbow.


What is the line of reflection in symmetry?

The line of reflection in symmetry is the imaginary line that travels down the line of symmetry. For example, in a square, the line of reflection would be the line down the center of the square, and the line down the diagonal of the square.


Give a real life example of a line?

A real life example of a line is a road. Other examples of lines include ball courts, driveways, roof tops, and buildings.


What is a real life example of a line?

A real life example of a line is lines painted on the roadways. These lines divide traffic. Lines are also found on graphic prints and sport fields.
