help me people of earth

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

where you from...Mars ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tell me how to get to that answer

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You could help yourself (and possibly your helpers) if you'd first explain what a "line of reflection" is in geometry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im british i am not sure what it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and no i do not speek american

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so please talk so that I can understand you

OpenStudy (mathmale):

May I suggest that you look up (do an Internet search for) "geometric reflections?" That'd uncover some examples. Your being British and not "speaking American" has little or nothing to do with this mathematical language.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like not probitionalary slangtunary or any of that crumpet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i have

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say that it is A

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

@cradybaby : Don't be rude to other users

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i looked on Geometric Reflections

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Once you have an idea of what a line of reflection means in geometry, the problem you've posted should be easy. Look at the illustration you posted. You get the left half of this figure by rotating the right half about which vertical line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe that the answer to this question is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you believe so as well

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh what do you think it is and why exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at shiraz14

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

A line of reflection is akin to a mirror - what do you think an object looks like when it is placed in front of a mirror?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the object in the mirror is a reflection it is oneselves reflections

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well then I believe that the mirror would be at 3 units to the Left or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or to the right of The Object A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which A are they talking about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets work togather on this

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

What about the object's distance from the mirror? Can you state something you may observe about this distance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it is about 3 squares away from either shapes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I believe that it is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you agree with me

OpenStudy (shiraz14):

Yes, that's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
