Question

how many lines of symmetry does a rectangle that is not a square have?
a. 0
b. 2
c. 4
d. 8

Explanation:

Step1: Define line of symmetry

A line of symmetry is a line that divides a shape into two mirror-image halves.

Step2: Analyze non-square rectangle

A non-square rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, with length ≠ width. The lines of symmetry are: 1) the line bisecting the two longer sides, 2) the line bisecting the two shorter sides. No other lines will split it into mirror halves.

Answer:

B. 2
