Symmetry
is when one shape becomes exactly like another if you flip, slide or turn it
.
The simplest type of Symmetry is "Reflection" (or
"Mirror") Symmetry,
the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or
around an axis.
"this series has a line of symmetry through its center"
synonyms:
regularity, evenness, uniformity, consistency, conformity, correspondence, equality;
correct or pleasing proportion of the parts of a
thing.
"an overall symmetry making the poem
pleasant to the ear"
1.
the correspondence in size, form, and arrangement
of parts on opposite sides of a plane, line, or point; regularity of form or
arrangement in terms of like, reciprocal, or corresponding parts.
2.
the proper or due proportion of the parts of a body
or whole to one another with regard to size and form; excellence of
proportion.
3.
beauty based on or characterized by such
excellence o f proportion.
4.
Mathematics .
a.
a geometrical or other regularity that is
possessed by a mathematical object and is characterized by the operations
that leave the object invariant: A circle has rotational symmetry and
reflection symmetry.
b.
a rotation or translation of a plane figure that
leaves the figure unchanged although its position may be altered.
5.
Physics.
a property of a physical system that is
unaffected by certain mathematical transformations as, for example, the work
done by gravity on an object, which is not affected by any change in the
position from which the potential energy of the object is measured.
