Triangle And Circle Symmetry
Triangle And Circle Symmetry
Triangle:
A three sided figure is known as a triangle. There are different types of triangles based on the length of sides and angle, such as
Scalene Triangle:
It is a triangle in which all the three sides are of unequal length.
Symmetry of Scalene Triangle:
There is no line of symmetry in a scalene triangle as we can not draw any line which divides it into two equal parts.
Isosceles Triangle:
It is a triangle in which two sides are equal and angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
Symmetry of an Isosceles Triangle:
In an isosceles triangle, if we draw a perpendicular bisector to the side which is other than the equal sides. This line will pass through the vertex where the two equal sides are meeting as shown in the figure. This line divides the triangle into two equal parts. When we fold the isosceles triangle along this line the two parts will overlap each other. Hence this line will act as line of symmetry.
An isosceles triangle has one line of symmetry which is along the median through the vertex . In the figure below the equal sides are AB and AC. and the perpendicular bisector to the third side that is BC which passes through vertex A also known as Median AD is a line of symmetry of isosceles triangle ABC
Circle:
A geometrical figure whose each point is at the same distance from a fixed point is called a circle. The fixed point is called the center of the circle. and the distance is called radius of the circle. A straight line passing through the center and touching the circle at two points is called the diameter of the circle.
Symmetry of Circle:
In a circle the diameter divides the circle into two equal parts. and the two parts will overlap when we fold the circle along the diameter .This diameter acts as a line of symmetry for a circle. As there are infinite diameters to a circle.So we can say that a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
Semi-Circle:
A geometrical figure which is made by cutting a circle along its diameter is called a semi-circle..
Symmetry of Semi-Circle:
A line which is perpendicular bisector of the base of the semi-circle divides the semi-circle into two equal parts. The two parts will overlap when we fold the semi-circle along this line .Thus this line acts as a line of symmetry for a semi-circle. As there is only one such line in a semi-circle.So we can say that a semi-circle has one line of symmetry.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.

8thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying

10thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.

10thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thIt was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
Eshan Arora
8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
