Symmetry:
In a plane, a figure has symmetry if there is an isometry,
other than the identity, that maps the figure to itself.
Line Symmetry:
For each figure there is a line of symmetry such that the
reflection
maps the figure onto itself.
Point Symmetry:
For each figure there is a point of symmetry such that a half
turn
maps the figure onto itself.
Rotational Symmetry:
Each figure has a center and rotates the figure onto itself.
Translational Symmetry:
Translation that maps the figure onto itself.
