Question

definition of similar figures quick check
when a figure undergoes a reflection, it changes (1 point)
○ orientation only.
○ both position and size.
○ both position and orientation.
○ size only.

Explanation:

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line (the line of reflection). When a figure is reflected, its position changes (as it is flipped to a new location relative to the line of reflection), and its orientation also changes (e.g., a left - facing figure may become right - facing). Reflections do not change the size of the figure (so options about size changing are incorrect), and it changes more than just orientation (so the "orientation only" option is incorrect). Thus, a reflection changes both position and orientation.

Answer:

C. both position and orientation.
