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.
Ellipses and non-square rectangles have two lines of symmetry.
Rectangles and Rhombuses (if they are not also a square. Squares have 4 lines of symmetry.)
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?"
with corners: rectangles and rhombiwithout corners: ovals (ellipse)The diagonals are the two lines of symmetry of any rhombus that is not a square.
2 lines OF SYMMETRY
Most parallelograms do not have any lines of symmetry. The only parallelograms that can have lines of symmetry are squares, rectangles, and rhombuses.

Rectangles and Rhombuses (have at least 2 lines of symmetry).
Ellipses and non-square rectangles have two lines of symmetry.
Rectangles should always have 4 lines of symmetry, regardless of the parameters.

rectangles
Types of quadrilaterals that have lines of symmetry: squares, rectangles, some rhombuses (standard diamond shape), boomerang shape, and trapezoids.
Rectangles and Rhombuses (if they are not also a square. Squares have 4 lines of symmetry.)
Squares, which are parallelograms, have four lines of symmetry. Rectangles have only two. Rhombi have two lines of symmetry. Generic parallelograms don't have any lines of symmetry.None normally unless it is in the shape of a rectangle in which case it will have 2 lines of symmetry
