A rhombus has two lines of symmetry , which are its diagonals. These diagonals act as axes along which the rhombus can be folded to produce two identical halves that perfectly overlap
. To clarify further:
- The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
- Folding the rhombus along either diagonal results in two congruent halves.
- Unlike a square (which is a special type of rhombus), a rhombus does not have lines of symmetry along its midlines (vertical or horizontal axes), only along its diagonals
Thus, the number of lines of symmetry in a rhombus is exactly two, corresponding to its two diagonals.
