Here my dog "Flame" has her face
made perfectly symmetrical with a bit
of photo magic.

The white line down the center is the

Folding Test
You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it.

When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry.

Here I have folded a rectangle one way, and it didn't work.

symmetry folding no
So this is not a Line of Symmetry

But when I try it this way, it does work (the folded part sits perfectly on top, all edges matching):

symmetry folding yes
So this is a Line of Symmetry

Triangles
A Triangle can have 3, or 1 or no lines of symmetry:

symmetry equilateral triangle symmetry isosceles triangle no symmetry scalene triangle
Equilateral Triangle
(all sides equal,
all angles equal) Isosceles Triangle
(two sides equal,
two angles equal) Scalene Triangle
(no sides equal,
no angles equal)
