how many lines of symmetry in a rectangle

A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry.

Explanation:

• One line of symmetry is a vertical line that divides the rectangle into two equal halves.
• The other line of symmetry is a horizontal line that divides the rectangle into two equal halves.

These lines reflect the rectangle onto itself. Unlike a square, a rectangle does not have diagonal lines of symmetry unless it is a square.
