Question

look at this shape: image of a blue l - shaped figure on a grid which image shows a reflection? three images labeled a, b, c with different l - shaped figures on grids, and option buttons for a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Reflection Definition

A reflection (mirror image) of a shape should be a flip over a line, so the shape is reversed across an axis (vertical or horizontal), maintaining the same size and shape but mirrored.

Step2: Analyze Each Option

• Option A: The shape is rotated (90 - degree turn) and not a reflection of the original L - shape. The orientation is different from a mirror flip.
• Option B: The original L - shape (with the long vertical part on the left and the short horizontal part on the bottom right of the vertical part) has a reflection here. If we imagine a vertical line of reflection, the shape in B is the mirror image of the original. The long vertical part is now on the right, and the short horizontal part is on the bottom left of the vertical part, which is consistent with a vertical reflection.
• Option C: This is the same as the original shape, not a reflection.

Answer:

B. Option B
