3. Unfold it. With the help of a ruler and a pencil, draw line of

a straight line along the crease formed. This is the line symmetry
of symmetry of the rectangular sheet.

4. Fold the same sheet along the shorter side in such a
way that the two halves coincide.

5. Unfold it and draw the line of symmetry along the
crease formed.

Can you get a line of symmetry by folding the rectangle along the diagonals?
