Answer 3

This stuff (reflections) is some of the most difficult in all of high school geometry because the student need to visualize what is going on and many students find this difficult.
And it takes a lot of explanation. So that is why you are not getting any responses.
but I will try

Answer 4

please explain!!

Answer 5

are you in 10th grade geometry?

Answer 6

no, but I am in Geometry

Answer 7

ok I will try

Answer 8

thank you!

Answer 9

ok we start by naming the vertices because we are going to reflect over line pq one point at a time so that you can gain a firm understanding. ok? are you ready?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

so if we want to reflect the vertex A over this line, what we would do (generally) is determine the distance (or approximate it) from A to the line.
Then we try to put the reflection of A , or A', on the other side of the line at the same distance from the line. Do you understand this?

Answer 12

yes (srry that took so long to reply to)

Answer 13

so since C is farther from the line than A, the reflection of C over the line , or C', will also be farther from the line than A'. And the same goes for B and B'. Are you ok with this?

Answer 14

yes, i get that

Answer 15

do you get this?
