The following diagram shows the line of symmetry for quadrilaterals and triangles. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions on lines of symmetry.
Symmetry in a figure exists if there is a reflection, rotation, or translation that can be performed and the image is identical. Reflectional symmetry exists when the figure can be folded over onto itself along a line. This line is called the "line of symmetry". In regular polygons, the number of lines of symmetry equals the number of sides in the polygon.

Plane symmetry is analogous to line symmetry, except that it is in three dimensions. The three dimensional figure is divided into two halves by a plane.
