symmetrical structures

Symmetrical structures are objects or patterns that can be divided into parts that are mirror images of each other, often around a central axis or point. This means if you split the structure in a specific way, each side or part will look like a reflection of the other. Symmetry contributes to balance, stability, and harmony in design, architecture, and nature. Examples include butterfly wings, human faces, and many geometrical shapes like circles and squares. Recognizing symmetry helps us understand how natural and man-made objects are organized for aesthetic appeal and structural efficiency.
