ACTIVITY

What To Do?

To create a symmetric fi gure using ink and paper

What We Need?

A sheet of paper and ink
How To Do?

 Take a sheet of paper and fold it from the centre.

 Open it and put a drop of ink on the line of fold.
ink

 Fold the sheet again and press it for 2–3 times. Line of
symmetry
 Open it again and see the fi gure obtained which is
symmetrical about the line of fold.

You will observe that one side of the fi gure will exactly fi t Symmetric
over its other side. fi gure
