Question

consider the reflectional symmetry of the rhombus. how many lines of symmetry does the shape have?

Explanation:

Identify the properties of a rhombus

$$ \text{A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides.} $$

Determine the lines of symmetry

$$ \text{Lines of symmetry must reflect the shape onto itself.} $$

$$ \text{For a non-square rhombus, only the two diagonals are lines of symmetry.} $$

Count the lines of symmetry

$$ \text{Number of lines of symmetry} = 2 $$
