QUESTION IMAGE
Question
- what is true for an image and a preimage in a reflection?
the image and the preimage have different orientations.
the image and the preimage have the same orientation.
the image is smaller than the preimage.
the image is larger than the preimage.
Reflection is a rigid transformation. Rigid transformations preserve the shape and size of the pre - image, so the image and pre - image are congruent (same size). Also, reflection changes the orientation of the figure. For example, if you reflect a triangle over a line, the order of its vertices (clockwise or counter - clockwise) will be reversed.
