Please help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determine which frieze patterns display reflectionaly symmetry, rotational symmetry, or glide reflections.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

those look more like examples, rather than options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A-F have to be answered according to whether they're reflectional, rotational, or glide reflections. They're just part of an assignment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand the difference between any of them. I think "E" might be rotational...?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe rotational means that when its rotated you get the same results ^ rotated looks like v so it aint a rotated one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would "D" be rotated?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

glide means that they are periodic in nature a repeated pattern; they all look glidey

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"A" is a glide reflection?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

db and c look rotateable to me

OpenStudy (amistre64):

they are all glide reflection since the pattern repeats itself in a consistent manner

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but then ill have to look up the terminology to be sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is "F" glide then? Since it's all one continuing oattern?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pattern*

OpenStudy (amistre64):

they are all glideable

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b d remain the same when you reflect them in a mirror

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would "E" be?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ugh, the definitions are giving me a headache :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So far, "A"-glide "B"-rotate "C"-rotate "D"-rotate "E"- "F"-glide

OpenStudy (amistre64):

symmetry means, looks the same afterwards a glide is apparently a slide and flip; but how far to slide befre a flip?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

cant they possess more than one property?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only one to the directions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with "E"?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, according to my limited understanding on this; E looks neither rotatale or reflectable; so that leaves glide by default

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So none of them are reflectional then?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

b,d are reflectable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A-glide B-reflect C-rotate D-reflect E=glide F-glide

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you can only pick one property, then those are suitable to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great, thank you!:)
