1. Section 12-5 Symmetry SPI 32D: determine whether the plane figure has been translated given a diagram and vice versa Objectives: Identify types of Symmetry Symmetry: isometry that maps the figure onto itself Types of symmetry: 1. reflectional or line symmetry 2. rotational symmetry 3. point symmetry Line of Symmetry: Image on one side of the line matches the image on the other side of the line A figure can have more than one line of symmetry

2. Reflectional or Line Symmetry Line of Symmetry Line of Symmetry

3. Point Symmetry With point symmetry, a figure looks the same upside down or from two opposite directions Cut a card in half

4. Judging from appearance, do the letters V and H have rotational symmetry? If so, give an angle of rotation. The letter V does not have rotational symmetry because it must be rotated 360° before it is its own image. The letter H is its own image after one half-turn, so it has rotational symmetry with a 180° angle of rotation. Symmetry

5. Section 12-6 Tessellations SPI 32D: determine whether the plane figure has been translated given a diagram and vice versa Objectives: Identify transformations and symmetries in Tessellations Tessellation (tiling): A repeated pattern of figures that completely covers a plane, without gaps or overlaps. Can be created with translations, rotations, and reflections

6. Tesselations Repeated Figure Is the figure a translation or rotation?

7. Rotational Symmetry Rotation; one fish Translation; horse and rider

8. Determine if a figure will Tessellate Since figures in a tessellation do not overlap or leave gaps:  the sum of the measures of the angles around the vertex must be 360.  if the angles around the vertex are , then the measure of each angle must be a factor of 360 a = 180(n – 2) n Formula for the measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon a = 180(18 – 2) 18 Substitute a = 160 Simplify Since 160 is not a factor of 360, the 18-gon will not tesselate the plane.
