Which of the following summarizes the reflections that carry a parallelogram onto itself?(1 point)
Responses
A parallelogram has two lines of reflection that carry it onto itself: one horizontal through the midpoints of each side, and one vertical through the midpoints of the top and bottom.
A parallelogram has two lines of reflection that carry it onto itself: one horizontal through the midpoints of each side, and one vertical through the midpoints of the top and bottom.
A parallelogram has two lines of reflection: flipped on each diagonal will carry it onto itself.
A parallelogram has two lines of reflection: flipped on each diagonal will carry it onto itself.
A parallelogram has four lines of symmetry: horizontal through the midpoints, vertical through the midpoints, and both diagonals.
A parallelogram has four lines of symmetry: horizontal through the midpoints, vertical through the midpoints, and both diagonals.
A parallelogram does not have any lines of reflection.

The correct summary of the reflections that carry a parallelogram onto itself is:
**A parallelogram has two lines of reflection: flipped on each diagonal will carry it onto itself.**
In addition, it is also true that a rectangle (a specific type of parallelogram) has a horizontal and vertical line of symmetry, but in general, the statement about the diagonals is the most accurate for all parallelograms. Therefore, if you are considering all types of parallelograms (including rectangles and rhombuses), the reflection across the diagonals is key, while only a rectangle would have lines through the midpoints of opposite sides.
