Wyatt says that both red lines are lines of symmetry. Is he correct? Why or why not?
No, because neither line goes through a vertex.
Yes, because both lines go through the center of the figure.
Yes, because the halves match when the figure is folded along either line.
No, because the figure has only one line of symmetry.

Wyatt is correct: Yes, because the halves match when the figure is folded along either line. A line of symmetry means that one half of a figure is a mirror image of the other half when folded along that line. If both red lines can be used to fold the figure into matching halves, then both are lines of symmetry.

A line of symmetry divides a figure into two identical parts that mirror each other. If both red lines create matching halves when the figure is folded along them, then Wyatt is correct in stating that both lines are lines of symmetry.
