Ellipses have symmetry through only their major axis?

True or False?

I think false. They have them through both major and minor.,

False. Ellipses have symmetry through both major and minor axis. In order to actualize, think about folding the ellipse in half on both axis, this will create two mirror images, and thus two lines of symmetry.
