With the parallelogram, I believe six... with the circle, infinite.

As the mathematics teacher said, the parallelogram had different lines of symmetry for a specific type of parallelogram. By definition, a parallelogram only has to have two pairs of parallel sides.

So a square would have 4 (horizontal, vertical, and two diagonals)

A rectangle only has 2 (unlike what the professor said), take a piece of regular computer paper, and see that a rectangle does NOT have diagonal line symmetry. (Sadly, its not the first time I've heard someone make this mistake)

And as eveyrone said, a circle has an infinite amount of lines of symmetry.

Hope this helps :)

Circle: Infinite

Parallelogram: Depends on the shape of the parallelogram (To be a parallelogram it must have 2 sets of parallel sides)

Square: 4 (Horizontal, Vertical, 2 Diagonal)
Rectangle: 4 (Horizontal, Vertical, 2 Diagonal)
Rhombus: 2 (2 Diagonal)
True Parallelogram: 0

8 for the parallelogram and an infinite number for the circle.

With regards to the circle, infinite, obviously. However with regards to the paralellogram, the question is too vague, parallelograms come in a variety of shapes.

for circle ans= infinite

but for parallelogram ans= 0, how it can be 8 0r 6 0r 4?

make a parallelogram by a piece of paper and check it
