Symmetry
Warm-Up Reflect ΔABC across the y-axis. A(2, 3) B(0, -1) and C(-2, 3) What can we say about our pre-image and our image?
Vocabulary Line Symmetry – when a figure that is reflected across a line or lines maps onto itself. Rotational Symmetry – when a figure that is rotated a certain degree less than 360 around its center maps onto itself.

360÷3 = 120 Rotational Symmetry What is the degree of rotational symmetry? 360÷3 = 120
360÷2 = 180 Rotational Symmetry How many lines of symmetry does the shape have? 360÷2 = 180
360÷5 = 72 Rotational Symmetry How many lines of symmetry does the shape have? 360÷5 = 72
