Unit 5: Geometric Connections - Symmetry |
Step 6 of 8

| Geometric
elements in space can be symmetrical to one another, with respect to
an axis or a plane: |

| Symmetry with respect to an axis |
Symmetry with respect to a plane |

|
- In the left example, the two axes of the
cylinder are symmetrical with respect to a third axis (or a third plane).
- In the right example, the two inclined areas (=
planes) are symmetrical with respect to a third plane. These symmetries
can be checked mathematically by means of a computer.
