One element is symmetric TO or WITH another?

Post by Juliette »

I know that two elements can be, for example, symmetric with respect to the main diagonal. How can I describe the relationship between the very elements? Is one symmetric TO another or WITH another?
Help me with the problem please.

They could be said to be symmetrical with regard to the diagonal.
