Why does a square have more lines of symmetry than a rectangle?
The diagonals of a rectangle aren't lines of symmetry unless it's square.
What shape has more than one line of symmetry?
A circle (infinitely many lines of symmetry), ellipse, rectangle, and all regular polygons.
How does a rectangle have two lines of symmetry?
To see this more clearly, take a piece of paper that is rectangular in shape and fold in half from top to bottom. When you unfold you will see the crease through the middle of the paper and notice that both halves are symmetrical, meaning mirror images of each other, and identical in size and shape. Now, fold the paper in half again from left to right. When you unfold you will see a second crease, forming a cross over the first. The two creases represent the two lines of symmetry. Note: Technically a square is also a rectangle, but has 4 lines of symmetry since you can also divide a square into symmetrical shapes from the corners, or on the diagonal.
Does a triangle have more than 1 line of symmetry?
Depending on the triangle, there can be 0, 1, or three lines of symmetry. A scalene triangle (all sides of different lengths) will have no lines of symmetry, an isosceles triangle (exactly two sides of the same length) will have one line of symmetry, and an equilateral triangle (all three sides of the same length) will have three lines of symmetry.
With 27 sides how many lines of symmetry does a polygon have?
No more than 27.
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?"
Why does a square have more lines of symmetry than a rectangle?

Is the only quadrilateral with 2 lines of symmetry a rectangle?
no because other shapes have more such as a square
What shape has more than 2 lines of symmetry?
circle,rectangle,square,oval,octogon,hexagon
Which shape has more than one line of symmetry?
Many shapes have more than one line of symmetry. These include a rectangle, equilateral triangle, and a square. While a rectangle has two lines of symmetry, an equilateral triangle has three.
What shapes have 2 or more lines of symmetry?
The best answer is a rectangle
