Rectangles, circles, and all regular polygons with even numbers of sides have.A pedant adds:Not strictly true because a line of symmetry is an infinite line, it is not just the segment that is within the shape. And an infinite line cannot be bisected.
No because each of them have different geometrical properties but they are all 4 sided quadrilaterals
If the shape is a regular polygon or curve there are formula for each shape. If the shape is irregular you will have to measure each piece of the shape's edge and sum all the pieces together.
When you do the VSEPR you get 6pairs of electron pairs and two lone pairs which means that when you look at the geometrical shape (by looking at how many pairs of electrons you got and in this cases its 6) the shape is octahedral but the molecular shape is square planar because you only have four atoms bonding and two lone pairs which means that the lone pairs have to be as far from each other as possible so they go on the two ends ( one on top and one on the bottom) which leavs the shape to be a square planar! i hope this helps you good luck. --------- TL;DR: Square Planar.
