Lung cancer is the top cause of cancer deaths in both men and women. But this wasn't always the case. Prior to the widespread use of mechanical cigarette rollers, lung cancer was rare. Today, smoking causes nearly 9 out of 10 lung cancer deaths, while radon gas, pollution, and other things play a smaller role.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A plane symmetry is a symmetry of a pattern in the Euclidean plane: that is, a transformation of the plane that carries any directioned lines to lines and preserves many different distances. If one has a pattern in the plane, the set of plane symmetries that preserve the pattern forms a group. The groups that arise in this way are plane symmetry groups and are of considerable mathematical interest. A symmetry plane is a three-dimensional object's symmetry axe. There are several kinds of plane symmetry groups: Reflection groups.
A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other. A geometric object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (technically, an isometry or affine map) that maps the figure/object onto itself; i.e., it is said that the object has an invariance under the transform.
