Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the shape

The given shape is a symmetric cross - like figure. A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other. For this cross - shaped figure, we can find the lines of symmetry by looking at the axes that divide it evenly.

Step2: Identify vertical line of symmetry

If we draw a vertical line through the center of the cross (along the vertical axis of symmetry), the left and right halves of the cross will be mirror images of each other.

Step3: Identify horizontal line of symmetry

If we draw a horizontal line through the center of the cross (along the horizontal axis of symmetry), the top and bottom halves of the cross will be mirror images of each other.

To determine the lines of symmetry:

1. Vertical Line of Symmetry: This line passes through the center of the cross, vertically. It splits the cross into two congruent left and right parts.
2. Horizontal Line of Symmetry: This line passes through the center of the cross, horizontally. It splits the cross into two congruent top and bottom parts.

(Note: Since this is a drawing - based problem, the answer is the two lines of symmetry: one vertical and one horizontal passing through the center of the cross - shaped figure. If we were to represent the lines, for the vertical line, we can mark two points along the vertical center line, and for the horizontal line, two points along the horizontal center line.)

Answer:

The shape has two lines of symmetry: one vertical and one horizontal, each passing through the center of the cross - shaped figure. To draw them, for the vertical line, click two points along the vertical center axis; for the horizontal line, click two points along the horizontal center axis.
