Question

How many ways can a rectangle be reflected across an axis of symmetry so that it carries onto itself?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4

Answer 1

Rectangle has two axes of symmetry (see attached diagram).

So an arbitrary rectangle can be reflected across two axis of symmetry so that it carries onto itself.

Answer: correct choice is B.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. A rectangle can be reflected across an axis of symmetry so that it carries onto itself twice. Rectangles are geometric shapes with two lines of symmetry. One line of symmetry divides a rectangle in half horizontally, and the other line divides the shape in half vertically.
