Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question asks to determine the image of segment AB after two transformations:
Part A: Rotation 60° Clockwise
- Rotation 60° clockwise about point P means that we will rotate segment AB around the center of the hexagon (point P).
- Since each sector in a regular hexagon represents a 60° rotation, segment AB will rotate to align with the position of another edge of the hexagon.
- After rotating AB by 60° clockwise, the new image of segment AB will be along the line segment BP.
Part B: Reflection over line CF
- A reflection over line CF means flipping the figure across this line.
- Line CF is the diagonal passing through point P, so segment AB will reflect symmetrically across CF.
- After reflecting, the image of AB will now align with segment AF because it's the corresponding reflection across line CF.

Tip:
When rotating or reflecting shapes, always identify symmetry lines or rotational centers to simplify tracking the transformation paths.
