Answer:
Parallelogram and Lines of Symmetry
Have you ever wondered how many lines of symmetry a parallelogram has? A Parallelogram in general has no lines of symmetry. However, a parallelogram does have a decisive (rotational) symmetry - the half-turn around the median point at which the two diagonals intersect. As shown in the image below, because triangles WXO and YZO are congruent (have the same size and shape), thus
WO= YO
XO = ZO
In all Parallelograms’ Angles that are not opposite of each other will supplement up to 180 degrees.

That being said, there are some specific kinds of parallelogram that have lines of symmetry. They are listed below.
