What is the tip of the pencil called?

What’s a symmetrical shape?
Symmetry. A 2D shape is symmetrical if a line can be drawn through it and either side is a reflection of the other. This is sometimes called a ‘mirror line’ or ‘mirror symmetry’, because if you put a mirror on the line, the reflection would show the whole shape. • An isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry.
