Step 1: Concept/Theorem
The line of symmetry can be defined as the axis or imaginary line that passes through the center of the shape or object and divides it into identical halves.
A line of symmetry is a line that cuts a shape exactly in half. This means that if you were to fold the shape along the line, both halves would match exactly. Equally, if you were to place a mirror along the line, the shape would remain unchanged.
Step 2: Find the number of lines of symmetry.
A rectangle that is not a square has two lines of symmetry.
Step 3: Final answer
The total lines of symmetry in a rectangle = 2
Option A is the correct answer.
