Questions and Answers
- Explain the concept of line symmetry and provide an example.
- Explain the concept of line symmetry and provide an example.
Line symmetry is when a figure or shape can be divided into two equal halves that are mirror images of each other. An example of line symmetry is the letter 'M'. When the letter 'M' is divided vertically down the middle, the two halves are mirror images of each other.
- Define the term 'corresponding angles' and provide an example.
- Define the term 'corresponding angles' and provide an example.
Corresponding angles are pairs of angles that are in the same position at the intersection of two lines and a transversal. They are equal in measure. An example of corresponding angles is when a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the angles in the top left corner of each intersection are corresponding angles.
- Explain the concept of rotation symmetry and provide an example.
- Explain the concept of rotation symmetry and provide an example.
Rotation symmetry is when a figure or shape can be rotated by a certain angle and still look exactly the same. An example of rotation symmetry is a square. When a square is rotated by 90 degrees, it still looks the same.

Study Notes
Line Symmetry
- Line symmetry occurs when a shape can be divided into two identical halves that are mirror images of each other.
- An example is a butterfly; if a vertical line is drawn down the center, both wings mirror each other perfectly.
Corresponding Angles
- Corresponding angles are formed when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal; these angles occupy the same relative position at each intersection.
- For example, if line A and line B are parallel and line C is the transversal, the angle at the top left of intersection with line A is corresponding to the angle at the top left of intersection with line B.
Rotation Symmetry
- Rotation symmetry exists when a shape can be rotated around a central point and still look the same at various angles.
- An example is a starfish, which can be rotated to different degrees (e.g., 72 degrees) and appear unchanged each time.
Sum of Angles in a Triangle
- The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, which can be proven by drawing a line parallel to one side of the triangle through the opposite vertex, creating alternate interior angles.
- This results in two pairs of corresponding angles that together with the triangle's angle sum to 180 degrees.
Solving Linear Equations
- To solve the equation 3x + 2 = 8:
- Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with x: 3x = 6.
- Divide both sides by 3 to find x: x = 2.
