Lines of symmetry in a Rectangle

What is line of symmetry ?

If a given line splits a given figure into two identical halves, we say that the line has a line of symmetry or that the figure is symmetrical about the line and line is called a line of symmetry or the axis of symmetry.

A shape may have more than one line of symmetry depending on its angles and the lengths of each side.

Below figure shows lines of symmetry in a rectangle.

For example, a rectangle has two lines of symmetry because it can be folded in half both horizontally and vertically to create mirror images.
