Point symmetry occurs when there exists a position or a central point on an object such that:
The central point splits the object or shape into two parts.
Every part on each has a matching part on the other that is the same distance from the central point.
Both parts face different directions.
Let's test our definition with the X and S. Notice the point splits both letters into two similar shapes, but they face different directions.
If you walk up to a mirror and touch the mirror with your finger, you would have made an example of point symmetry. Right where your finger touches the mirror is the point. It's as if you're connected to your image. That is the most important concept of point symmetry: there has to be a connection.
