  • An isosceles triangle has 1 axis of symmetry;
  • A square has 4 axes of symmetry;
  • A rectangle has 2 axes of symmetry;
  • A rhombus has 2 axes of symmetry.

A solid may be symmetric if it has at least one plane of symmetry, which divides the solid into two identical solids. A cube has several planes of symmetry.
