Q. What does it mean for a figure to have Reflectional symmetry?

A shape has reflection symmetry if there exists a line of reflection that carries the shape onto itself. This line of reflection is called a line of symmetry. In other words, if you can reflect a shape across a line and the shape looks like it never moved, it has reflection symmetry.

Q. What triangles have reflection symmetry?

Triangles with reflection symmetry are isosceles. Quadrilaterals with reflection symmetry are kites, (concave) deltoids, rhombi, and isosceles trapezoids. All even-sided polygons have two simple reflective forms, one with lines of reflections through vertices, and one through edges.

Q. What does it mean to reflect a line?

A reflection is a transformation representing a flip of a figure. When reflecting a figure in a line or in a point, the image is congruent to the preimage. A reflection maps every point of a figure to an image across a fixed line. The fixed line is called the line of reflection.
