Identify line(s) of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure.

Examples

Fold a rectangular piece of paper and determine whether the fold is a line of symmetry by matching the two halves exactly.

Clarifications

Clarification 1: Instruction focuses on the connection between partitioning two-dimensional figures and symmetry.

Clarification 2: Problem types include being given an image and determining whether a given line is a line of symmetry or not.
