Determine the line(s) of symmetry for the rectangle PQRS.
Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
B MO
C TN
A figure is said to have a line of symmetry or linear symmetry if there exists a line which divides the figure into two identical halves such that they coincide when folded along this line.
The given rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry. In the given figure, MO and TN are the lines of symmetry. They overlap exactly when folded across these lines. Other lines passing through PR and QS are not lines of symmetry. This is because if folded along this line the two halves do not coincide perfectly.
