A rectangle has only 2 lines of symmetry and not 4 like the square
To see this consider the

To see this consider the
following:
Half a rectangleMirror Line
A reflection in the diagonal would produce a kite!

Plane Symmetry
Plane Symmetry
A plane of symmetry divides a three dimensional shape into two congruent halves that are mirror images of each other.
A Cuboid
A Cuboid has 3 planes of symmetry

3 Planes of symmetry
Can you explain why the plane shown is not a plane of symmetry?
This is similar to the situation for the rectangle which does not have a line of symmetry through its diagonal. Reflection through the diagonal produces a kite.
No Diagonal
