Question

Reflect the shape with given line of reflection.

Accepted Answer

Given:

A reflection is a transformation that flips or reflects a figure about a line.

After a figure is reflected, it looks like a mirror image of itself. The line that a figure is flipped over is called a line of reflection.

To reflect the shape about the line of reflection, we have to reflect every vertex individually and then connect them again. First, choose one of the vertices $(T)$ and draw the line through this vertex so that it is perpendicular to the line of reflection.

Now, measure the distance from the vertex to the line of the reflection, and mark a point $(T ")$ that has the same distance on the other side.

Repeat the process for all the other vertices $(U, V, W)$ of the shape. Finally, connect all the reflected vertices( $(T ", U ", V ", W ")$ in the correct order to get the reflection of the shape.

This is the reflection of the shape with the given line of reflection.

Reflect the shape with given line of reflection.
