Which of the following is symmetrical about its diagonals?

Which of the following is symmetrical about its diagonals?

  • A. Square
  • B. Rectangle
  • C. Parallelogram
  • D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

A square has four lines of symmetry, including both diagonals. Reflecting a square across either diagonal maps the square onto itself. A rectangle only has lines of symmetry through midpoints, not diagonals (unless it is a square). A general parallelogram has no diagonal symmetry. Thus, only a square is symmetrical about its diagonals.
