what is meant by symmetry?

Symmetry occurs not only in geometry, but also in other branches of mathematics. It is actually the same as invariance: the property that something does not change under a set of transformations.

Two objects are symmetric to each other with respect to the invariant transformations if one object is obtained from the other by one of the transformations. It is an equivalence relation.
