alleryA rhombus has an axis of symmetry through what?
AEach pair of opposite sides
BEach pair of opposite angles
CEach pair of adjacent sides
DEach pair of adjacent angles
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Each pair of opposite angles
1. The two diagonals of a rhombus are its mirror lines.
2. Each diagonal joins a pair of opposite corners, so the axes run through opposite angles.
3. Axes through opposite sides belong to a rectangle instead.
