KeeKee is looking for lines of symmetry in a parallelogram. Order the steps that KeeKee uses to describe how she found the lines of symmetry.
a.
KeeKee checks for other lines of symmetry, she folds the parallelogram from side to side. That does not work.
b.
She finds there are no lines of symmetry in a parallelogram. There are no lines that divide the shape in half, so that if you fold the shape on the line the halves match.
c.
KeeKee traces the parallelogram and cuts it out.
d.
KeeKee folds the parallelogram from corner to corner. That does not work.
