Mathematical Symmetry

In mathematical when one shape becomes like another if you rotate over, slide or twist is called the symmetry. In mathematical normally symmetry is classified into three types. Thus three types of symmetry are reflection symmetry, rotational symmetry and point symmetry. Let us see mathematical symmetry in this article.


Mathematical Symmetry:

Symmetry:

When one shape becomes like another if you rotate over, slide or twist it is called as symmetry.

Types of symmetry:

Reflection symmetry
Rotational symmetry
Point symmetry

Definition of reflection symmetry:

Reflection symmetry is the simple type of symmetry. One half of the reflection is the reflection of the other half is known as reflection of symmetry.

Definition of Rotational symmetry:

The shape or image can be rotated on various quantities and it still shows the same is called as rotational symmetry.

Definition of Point symmetry:

If the image is placed the same distance from the starting but in the opposite path then the image has point symmetry.
Brief Explanation about Mathematical Symmetry:

Reflection symmetry:

One half of the reflection is the reflection of the other half is known as reflection of symmetry.

Example:

mathematical symmetry

Here the image (under the line) gives the perfect reflection of the above image.

Rotational symmetry:

The shape or image can be rotated on various quantities and it still shows the same is called as rotational symmetry.

Example:

mathematical symmetry

In above figure the second image represents the rotated structure of first image.

Point symmetry:

If the image is placed the same distance from the starting but in the opposite path then the image has point symmetry.

I am planning to write more post on upsc syllabus 2013 and Fractions and Equivalent Decimals. Keep checking my blog.

Example:

mathematical symmetry

From the above figure we understand the point symmetry. In above figure the images are placed the same distance from the starting but in the opposite path and it similar to rotational symmetry of order 2.
