sümmeetriatelgi

Sümmeetriatelgi is a term used in geometry to describe a line of symmetry in a two-dimensional figure. A line of symmetry divides a figure into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other. When a figure is reflected across its sümmeetriatelgi, it maps onto itself perfectly. This means that for every point on one side of the line, there is a corresponding point on the other side at an equal distance from the line, and these points are identical in appearance.

The presence and number of sümmeetriatelgi vary greatly depending on the shape of the geometric figure. For example, a square has four sümmeetriatelgi: two that pass through opposite vertices and two that pass through the midpoints of opposite sides. A rectangle, on the other hand, has only two sümmeetriatelgi, both passing through the midpoints of opposite sides. An isosceles triangle has one sümmeetriatelgi, which bisects the vertex angle and is perpendicular to the base.

Not all figures possess sümmeetriatelgi. An irregular polygon, for instance, generally has no lines of symmetry. The concept of sümmeetriatelgi is fundamental in understanding the properties and classifications of geometric shapes. It plays a role in various fields, including art, design, and nature, where symmetry is often observed and appreciated.
