Question

segment \\(\overline{ab}\\) is the result of reflecting \\(\overline{ab}\\) across line \\(\boldsymbol{\ell}\\).

select all of the correct statements about the unchanged properties of \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{ab}\\).

choose all answers that apply:
\\(\boldsymbol{\square}\\) \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{ab}\\) have the same lengths.
\\(\boldsymbol{\square}\\) \\(b\\) and \\(b\\) have the same coordinates.
\\(\boldsymbol{\square}\\) none of the above

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • For option A: A reflection is a rigid transformation, which means it preserves the length of segments. So, the length of \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{A'B'}\) should be the same.
  • For option B: Reflecting a point across a line changes its coordinates (unless the point is on the line of reflection). Since \(B\) is not on line \(\ell\), \(B\) and \(B'\) will have different coordinates.
  • Option C is incorrect because option A is correct.

Answer:

A. \(\overline{AB}\) and \(\overline{A'B'}\) have the same lengths.
