Question

line symmetry — quiz — level d
how many lines of symmetry does this rectangle have?

Explanation:

Step1: Define line of symmetry

A line that splits a shape into two congruent mirror-image halves.

Step2: Identify rectangle symmetry lines

1. A horizontal line through the midpoints of the vertical sides: splits the rectangle into top and bottom congruent halves.
2. A vertical line through the midpoints of the horizontal sides: splits the rectangle into left and right congruent halves.

A non-square rectangle has no diagonal lines of symmetry, as diagonals do not create mirror-image congruent parts.
