goofy ahh
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "goofy ahh". Can you please provide more context or clarify your statement?
To determine the number of lines of symmetry in a rectangle, you need to understand what a line of symmetry is.
A line of symmetry is a line that divides a figure into two equal parts, where each part is the mirror image of the other. In a rectangle, lines of symmetry are formed by drawing a line through the midpoint of each pair of parallel sides.
A rectangle has two pairs of parallel sides, so it will always have two lines of symmetry. One line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the longer sides, and the other line of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the shorter sides.
Therefore, the number of lines of symmetry in a rectangle is 2.
