alleryWhich lines are the lines of symmetry of a rhombus that is not a square?
AThe two diagonals
BThe four sides
CThe two midlines
DNo line at all
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The two diagonals
1. A rhombus is symmetric across each of its two diagonals.
2. Lines joining the midpoints of opposite sides are mirror lines of a rectangle, not of a plain rhombus.
3. So the lines of symmetry are the two diagonals.
