Question

what are the characteristics of a reflection?
select all that apply.
a. the image and preimage are congruent.
b. the image and preimage are similar but not congruent.
c. lengths of segments are preserved.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall properties of reflection

A reflection is a rigid transformation. Rigid transformations preserve shape and size. Congruent figures have the same shape and size. Similar figures have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Since reflection is a rigid transformation, the image and pre - image are congruent. Also, in a reflection, the lengths of corresponding segments are preserved.

Answer:

A. The image and preimage are congruent.
C. Lengths of segments are preserved.
