Reflection symmetry

Figures with the axes of symmetry drawn in. The figure with no axes is asymmetric.

In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry.

In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry. An object or figure which is indistinguishable from its transformed image is called mirror symmetric.
