Question

For point symmetry, which of the options hold true?

• A. The point of symmetry divides the figure into two identical parts
• B. Every point on one part has a matching point on the other part along the line passing through the point of symmetry
• C. Both the parts face the same direction
• D. The two points on the corresponding parts are same distance away from the point of symmetry

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

The correct options are
A

The point of symmetry divides the figure into two identical parts

B

Every point on one part has a matching point on the other part along the line passing through the point of symmetry

D

The two points on the corresponding parts are same distance away from the point of symmetry

For point symmetry, following conditions should hold true:

1. The point divides the figure into two identical parts
2. Every point on one part has a matching point on the other part along the point
3. Both the parts are in the opposite direction
4. The two points on the corresponding parts are same distance away from the point dividing the figure.
