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 square or rectangle has more lines of symmetry?
They both have the same amount of lines of symmetry. * * * * * Not true. A square has four lines of symmetry, a rectangle only two.
Does a rectangle have four lines of symmetry?
Only two - parallel to and halfway between the sides. The diagonals are not lines of symmetry.
Quadrilateral with 4 right angles and 4 lines of symmerty?
A quadrilateral with 4 right angles can only be a rectangle or a square. A rectangle has only two lines of symmetry - the lines joining the midpoints of its opposite sides. So the answer cannot be a rectangle. A square has the same lines of symmetry as a rectangle, plus the two diagonals - 4 lines in all.
What shape has 2 lines of symmetry?
Shapes that only have two lines of symmetry:SquareRectangleParallelogram
How many lines of symmetry for a rectangle?
Four - Two reflective, and two rotational about the diagonals.
Does a Rectangle have at least one line of symmetry?
A rectangle has two lines of symmetry, the lines that connect the midpoints of the parallel sides of a rectangle are lines of symmetry of the rectangle.
Does rectangle have symmetry?
A rectangle has two lines of symmetry (the bisection of the length and width).
Are there any line of symmetry in rectangle how many?
A rectangle has two lines of symmetry
Does a rectangle or square have exactly 2 lines of symmetry?
Technically, a square is a rectangle with four lines of symmetry. A non-square rectangle has exactly two lines of symmetry: the vertical and the horizontal.
Does a square or rectangle has more lines of symmetry?
They both have the same amount of lines of symmetry. * * * * * Not true. A square has four lines of symmetry, a rectangle only two.
What figure has two lines of symmetry and two rotations of symmetry?
A rectangle is one of them
Does rectangle have two lines of symmetry?
Yes.
Lines of symmetry for a rectangle?
There are only two lines of symmetry. Divide either of the two opposite sides of the rectangle in half and join these two points.
Does a rectangle have 3 lines of symmetry?
No, a non-square rectangle has two: the horizontal and the vertical. A square has four lines of symmetry: the horizontal, the vertical, and two diagonal lines.
What is a quadrilateral that has exactly two lines of symmetry?
A four-sided quadrilateral having two lines of symmetry is a rectangle
How many lines of symmetry does a parallelagram have?
A parallelagram can be a square, which has four lines of symmetry or a rectangle which has two lines of symmetry but the generic parallelagram has zero lines of symmetry
How many symmetry lines in a rectangle?
Just two
