Lesson 5
Describing Transformations
Problem 1
Here is Trapezoid A in the coordinate plane:
- Draw Polygon B, the image of A, using the y-axis as the line of reflection.
- Draw Polygon C, the image of B, using the x-axis as the line of reflection.
- Draw Polygon D, the image of C, using the x-axis as the line of reflection.
