Question 35911: Draw a rectangle ABCD and then construct a line such that the image of the rectangle under reflection in the line is the original rectangle. Is there more than one line with this property? Answer by astromathman(21) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes. Draw the line through the center parallel to each pair of edges. These are the only two for a general rectangle.
If the rectangle happens to be a square you could also reflect in the lines containing the diagonals.
