Question 5 • Geometry

Which diagram has all the correct lines of reflectional symmetry for the rectangle?

Answer
A
Image with description A rectangle is folded 4 ways. It is folded horizontally, vertically, and diagonally on both corners.
B
Image with description A rectangle is folded 4 ways. It is folded diagonally at each midpoint of every side.
C
Image with description A rectangle is folded diagonally on both corners.
D
Image with description A rectangle is folded by a vertical and horizontal line going through its center.

Explanation

A rectangle has two lines of reflectional symmetry: one vertical and one horizontal, both passing through its center. Reflecting the rectangle across either line maps it exactly onto itself. Diagonal lines are not lines of symmetry for a general rectangle, so the diagram with the centered vertical and horizontal lines is correct.
