Answer 1

Answer 2

I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "HoHm : B "

Answer 3

H forget hat tht means but o is the point o and m is the point m too so um idk

Answer 4

can you draw out what "HoHm : B " really is?

Answer 5

here ik an example of a problem like this but idk how to do this one but here one sec

Answer 6

okay lets say that the letter is "c" instead of "b" and it goes (Hm) (Ho) instead of (Ho) (Hm) and the answer to it is "B"

Answer 7

how they got the answer "B" to that problem idk whats what im asking is how to do these problems

Answer 8

but the thing is, I don't know what you mean by Ho or Hm

I get that m, n, o are the 3 midpoints, but what is the H?

Answer 9

idk :/

Answer 10

it means point of intersection

Answer 11

same here, wish I did

Answer 12

oh it does?

Answer 13

i think where the lines meet

Answer 14

theroem 9-8

Answer 15

what does that theorem say

Answer 16

one sec

Answer 17

Theorem 9 – 8 A product of reflections in perpendicular lines is a half turn about the point
of intersection where the lines intersect. It is denoted Hk.

Answer 18

so Hk is a halfturn around the point k?

Answer 19

and this process is a transformation idk if that helps

Answer 20

this who problem is very confusing

Answer 21

idk why they can't just say "rotate 180 degrees" lol

Answer 22

these are my options for answers
pointA
pointB
pointC

Answer 23

never heard of the term half turn before, but I guess it makes sense

Answer 24

so h stands for "half"?

Answer 25

is the answer pointa?

Answer 26

one sec

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

ok this is just a convoluted way of saying all this

Answer 29

what HoHm : B means is that you

step 1) start at point B

step 2) rotate point B 180 degrees around the point m to land on point A (this is applying the transformation Hm -- half turn around m)

step 3) rotate the result you got in step 2 about the point o to land on point C (now you're applying Ho -- half turn about o)
