2. Symmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

   A geometric shape or object is symmetric if it can be divided into two or more identical pieces that are arranged in an organized fashion. [5] This means that an object is symmetric if there is a transformation that moves individual pieces of the object, but doesn't change the overall shape. The type of symmetry is determined by the way the ...

3. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_(geometry)

   In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform). [1] Thus, a symmetry can be thought of as an immunity to change. [2] For instance, a circle rotated about its ...

4. Geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry

   v. t. e. Geometry (from Ancient Greek γεωμετρία (geōmetría) 'land measurement'; from γῆ (gê) 'earth, land' and μέτρον (métron) 'a measure') [1] is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. [2] Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of ...

5. Regular polyhedron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polyhedron

   Regular polyhedron. A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags. A regular polyhedron is highly symmetrical, being all of edge-transitive, vertex-transitive and face-transitive. In classical contexts, many different equivalent definitions are used; a common one is that the faces are congruent regular ...

6. Kite (geometry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_(geometry)

   Kite (geometry) A kite, showing its pairs of equal-length sides and its inscribed circle. In Euclidean geometry, a kite is a quadrilateral with reflection symmetry across a diagonal. Because of this symmetry, a kite has two equal angles and two pairs of adjacent equal-length sides. Kites are also known as deltoids, [1] but the word deltoid may ...

7. Square - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

   These 6 symmetries express 8 distinct symmetries on a square. John Conway labels these by a letter and group order. [11] Each subgroup symmetry allows one or more degrees of freedom for irregular quadrilaterals. r8 is full symmetry of the square, and a1 is no symmetry. d4 is the symmetry of a rectangle, and p4 is the symmetry of a rhombus.
