Higher-Order Thinking Question

Q6. A shape has exactly one line of symmetry. Could it be a rectangle that is not a square? Explain.
Ans: A non-square rectangle actually has two lines of symmetry (through the midpoints of each pair of opposite sides), so it would not be an example of a shape with exactly one line of symmetry; a shape like an isosceles triangle (that is not equilateral) is a better example, having exactly one line of symmetry.
