Test for symmetry about the x-axis: Replace y with (-y). Simplfy the equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation then the graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. Example: Use the test for symmetry about the x-axis to determine if the graph of y - 5x2 = 4 is symmetric about the x-axis.
Test for symmetry about the y-axis: Replace x with (-x). Simplfy the equation. If the resulting equation is equivalent to the original equation then the graph is symmetrical about the y-axis. Example: Use the test for symmetry about the y-axis to determine if the graph of y - 5x2 = 4 is symmetric about the y-axis.
I didn't fully understand the question but this is the best I can do! Hope this helps! :D

Half the length of the curve which separates the 2 halves = 1/2 circumference of a circle with diameter 6 mm. = 1/2 * pi * d = 3pi mm

So the length of the line = 6pi = 18.85 mm to nearest hundredth. answer

The area of shaded region = 1/2 area of the circle = 1/2 pi r^2

= 1/2 * pi * 6^2

= 56.55 mm^2 to nearest hundredth answer
