The symmetrical numbers between 0 and 9, when considering vertical symmetry (as typically understood), are 0, 3, and 8.
Explanation of Symmetry
Symmetry, in this context, refers to a shape or number that looks identical when reflected across a line of symmetry. We are generally considering vertical symmetry, meaning a line drawn down the middle of the number.
-
0: When you draw a vertical line through the center of the number 0, both halves are mirror images.
-
3: The number 3 also exhibits symmetry when split vertically.
-
8: Similar to 0, the number 8 is symmetrical when divided vertically down the middle.
Other numbers between 0 and 9 lack this perfect vertical symmetry. For example:
- 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 do not have vertical lines of symmetry.
It's important to note that other types of symmetry exist (like rotational or horizontal), but the question usually implies vertical symmetry when referring to "symmetrical numbers".
