axis of symmetry
Reflection divides equally
An axis of symmetry is an imaginary line through a shape or object such that the two halves on either side are mirror images of each other.
In geometry, a circle has infinite axes of symmetry, while a square has four.
The parabola's axis of symmetry passes through its vertex.
The concept extends to three-dimensional objects and abstract mathematical functions.
