Question

GEOMETRY HELP Trapezoid ABCD and its reflection A'B'C'D' are shown below. Connect any point on the pre-image to its corresponding point on the reflected image and describe the line segment's relationship to the line of reflection.

Answer 1

@ash2326 @ganeshie8

Answer 2

lets connect the points and see wat we get ?

Answer 3

First, observe that the trap is reflected along X axis

Answer 4

red line the reflection line
greens are the segments connecting image & preimage

Answer 5

do u see any relation between them ? :)
like, they're parallel, perpendicular... etc..

Answer 6

They're parallel @Nurali

Answer 7

yes green lines are parallel,
but thats not what the question is asking about

Answer 8

... describe the line segment's relationship to the line of reflection.

Answer 9

see that the "green line segments" are PERPENDICULAR to the reflection line (red)

Answer 10

^^thats the relation

Answer 11

Ok let me look at the picture once more

Answer 12

wait didn't you just explain the relationship to the red line

Answer 13

yup :) we're done !

Answer 14

wait!

Answer 15

ha

Answer 16

I get it but I don't know how to rephrase it :/

Answer 17

and on the original picture there is no green and red line so how would i go about that

Answer 18

green lines : the line segments joining the vertices of image and preimage
red line : reflection line

Answer 19

You may rephrase it like this :-

the line segments joining any point on pre-image to its corresponding point on image are perpendicular to the "line of reflection"

Answer 20

Ohh Okay Thank you!

Answer 21

np :)

Answer 22

adjusted a bit :

the line segment joining any point on pre-image to its corresponding point on image is perpendicular to the "line of reflection"

Answer 23

Okay :)
