Answer:
A rectangle has 2 lines of symmetry which divides it into two identical parts.
There are 2 symmetry lines of a rectangle which are from its length and breadth. These two lines cut the rectangle in two similar halves which are mirror images of each other. If a rectangle is folded along its line of symmetry, it superimposes perfectly.
It should be noted that for a rectangle, the diagonals are not its lines of symmetry. This is because, if a rectangle cut along its diagonals will not superimpose perfectly as the sides will be of different measurements
See photos for clarity. Also line of symmetry for different polygons is also attached.
