The figure on the left side of the line of symmetry is the same as the figure on the right
side. In other words, one side of the figure will exactly fit over its other side. Such figures
are called symmetrical figures.
The lines of symmetry can be horizontal, vertical or both.
Look at the given examples.
vertical horizontal vertical and horizontal
Some figures can have more than two lines
of symmetry.
Some figures are not symmetrical.
