reflective symmetry
Fold-and-match correspondence
Reflective symmetry is the property of a shape or pattern that can be divided by a line into two halves that mirror each other.
The dividing line is called the axis or line of symmetry.
A butterfly has reflective symmetry; a human face approximates it.
Also called mirror symmetry or bilateral symmetry.
