A
Image with description A letter T has a dashed horizontal line passing left to right along the lower edge of the top bar.
B
Image with description A letter T has a dashed diagonal line slanting downward from left to right through the upper-left corner of the top bar and the lower-right corner of the vertical part of the T.
C
Image with description A letter T has a dashed vertical line passing through the center of the top bar and the vertical part of the T.
D
Image with description A letter T has a dashed diagonal line slanting upward from left to right, crossing the left side of the vertical part of the T, and passing through the upper-right part of the top bar.

Which triangle has 0 reflectional symmetries?

A
Image with description A right triangle has a vertical left side, a horizontal bottom side, and a slanted side. The left side has double tick marks, the bottom side has one tick mark, and the slanted side has triple tick marks. A right-angle marker is shown at the lower-left angle, one arc mark is shown at the upper-left angle, and double arc marks are shown at the lower-right angle.
B
Image with description A triangle has all three sides marked with matching single tick marks. All three angles are marked with matching single arc marks.
C
Image with description A right triangle has a vertical left side, a horizontal bottom side, and a slanted side. The left side and bottom side have matching single tick marks, and the slanted side has double tick marks. A right-angle marker is shown at the lower-left angle, and matching arc marks are shown at the upper-left and lower-right angles.
D
Image with description A tall triangle has two slanted sides and a horizontal bottom side. The two slanted sides have matching single tick marks, and the bottom side has double tick marks. The top angle has double arc marks, and the two bottom angles have matching single arc marks.

If a quadrilateral has exactly 2 lines of symmetry, and both are angle bisectors, then which statement would be true?

A
The figure must be an isosceles trapezoid because it has 2 congruent base angles.
B
The figure could be a rhombus because the 2 lines of symmetry bisect the angles.
C
The figure could be a square because the diagonals of a square bisect the right angles.
D
The figure must be a rectangle because all rectangles have exactly 2 lines of symmetry.
