Why does a rectangle with different side lengths have only 2 lines of symmetry?
A.
all four angles are congruent, and all four sides are congruent
B.
all four angles are congruent, and opposite sides are congruent for a horizontal and diagonal line of reflection
C.
all four angles are congruent, and opposite sides are congruent for a horizontal and vertical line of reflection
D.
all four angles are congruent, and opposite sides are congruent for two diagonal lines of reflection that cut through different angles

Answer:

C. all four angles are congruent, and opposite sides are congruent for a horizontal and vertical line of reflection

Step-by-step explanation:

A. isn't correct because all four sides aren't congruent, only the pair of opposite sides are congruent. Sense only opposite side are congruent you can only reflect the opposite sides onto each other and not diagonally meaning B. and D. are incorrect leaving C. all four angles are congruent, and opposite sides are congruent for a horizontal and vertical line of reflection as the correct answer
