Its 4 just like a square
* * * * *
No it is not. The diagonals of a square are lines of symmetry; not so with a rectangle. So there are only 2 lines of symmetry.
In theory, the statement made by the User above^^^ is true, but when it comes to the decisive moment where one has to create structures, or anything that might save or take away lives, that fails... In a rectangle, if you make diagonals, the rectangle will be split into 2 equal length, equal size, right triangles. These people have made the common misconception of trusting a textbook entirely for their answers. Textbooks are written by humans, and humans make mistakes. If everyone understood this, 9/11 never would have happened.

What shapes have two lines of symmetry?
Ellipses and non-square rectangles have two lines of symmetry.
What quadrilaterals have exactly 2 lines of symmetry?
Rectangles and Rhombuses (if they are not also a square. Squares have 4 lines of symmetry.)
What figure has exactly two lines of symmetry?
with corners: rectangles and rhombiwithout corners: ovals (ellipse)The diagonals are the two lines of symmetry of any rhombus that is not a square.
Which has more lines of symmetry a square or an rectangle?
All squares are rectangle, but not all rectangles are square. The expected answer is "a square" ... A square has 4 lines of symmetry. A rectangle that is not a square has 2 lines of symmetry. However, the question is ambiguous. Since a square is a rectangle you can say that some rectangles have 4 lines of symmetry. A better question is, "Which has more lines of symmetry; a square, or a rectangle that is not a square?"
How many lines of symmetry does a trapezuim have?
4 Lines of symmetry
