A figure is a A figure is a polygonpolygon iff it is a plane iff it is a plane figure formed from 3 or more figure formed from 3 or more segments such that each segment segments such that each segment intersects exactly 2 others, one at intersects exactly 2 others, one at each endpoint, and no 2 segments each endpoint, and no 2 segments with a common endpoint are collinear.with a common endpoint are collinear.

The segments are the The segments are the sides of the sides of the polygonpolygon and the endpoints are the and the endpoints are the vertices of the polygonvertices of the polygon..

Reflectional SymmetryReflectional Symmetry

Defn: A figure has Defn: A figure has reflectional reflectional symmetrysymmetry iff its reflected image across iff its reflected image across a line coincides exactly with the a line coincides exactly with the preimage. The line is called an preimage. The line is called an axis of axis of symmetrysymmetry..

Triangle Symmetry Triangle Symmetry ConjectureConjecture

An axis of symmetry in a triangle is An axis of symmetry in a triangle is the perpendicular bisector of the the perpendicular bisector of the side it intersects, and it passes side it intersects, and it passes through the vertex of the angle through the vertex of the angle opposite that side of the triangle.opposite that side of the triangle.

An equilateral triangle has 3 axes of symmetry. A strictly isosceles triangle has 1 axis of symmetry. A scalene triangle has 0 axes of symmetry.
