Reflection symmetry - if a figure can be reflected over a line in such a way that the resulting
image coincides with the original. Reflection symmetry is also called bilateral symmetry. The
reflection line is called the line of symmetry.
Rotational symmetry - if a figure can be rotated about a point in such a way that it’s rotated
image coincides with the original figure.
D. Determine the symmetry group in the following figures. For cyclic group (Cn), determine
the order of rotation; and for dihedral groups (Dn), determine the number of reflection lines.

Patterns and Diagrams
An infinite strip with a repeating pattern is called a frieze pattern, or sometimes a border
pattern or an infinite strip pattern. The term "frieze" is from architecture, where a frieze refers to a
decorative carving or pattern that runs horizontally just below a roofline or ceiling.
E. Using the International Union of Crystallography (IUC) notation, identify the names of
symmetry groups in the following frieze patterns.

Patterns and Diagrams
A tessellation is defined as a pattern of shapes that covers a plane without any gaps or
overlaps. Tessellations can be found on pavements, patios and wallpapers. Tiled surface of flooring
and walls is an example of tessellation where there are no tiles which overlap and there are no gaps
between shapes.
