Glossary (Version 8.4)

A plane figure f has line symmetry in a line m, if the image of f under the reflection in m is f itself. The line m is called the axis of symmetry.

A plane figure f has rotational symmetry about a point O if there is a rotation such that the image of f under the rotation is f itself.

A rotation of 120° around O moves the equilateral triangle onto itself.
