hierarchical_section_title: Reflection symmetry
caption_attribution_description: Made June 3rd, 2005, this is a picture of shapes with the axes of symmetry drawn in with dashed lines created using Appleworks for the english Wikipedia article on axes of symmetry.
context_page_description: Reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, mirror-image symmetry, is symmetry with respect to reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry.
  In 2D there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3D a plane of symmetry. An object or figure which is indistinguishable from its transformed image is called mirror symmetric. In conclusion, a line of symmetry splits the shape in half and those halves should be identical.
