Math Problem Statement
Select all of the shapes below that can be formed by a single reflection of shape X.
Solution
The problem asks to select shapes that can be formed by a single reflection of shape .
Solution:
-
Identify Shape : Shape looks like an "L" flipped horizontally with a horizontal bar on the top and a vertical bar on the left.
-
Reflection Options:
- A shape can be reflected vertically, horizontally, or along the diagonal lines.
-
Analyze Each Shape:
- Shape A: Looks like a reflection over a vertical line. (Match)
- Shape B: This shape is a vertical flip of shape . (No Match)
- Shape C: Rotated but not reflected. (No Match)
- Shape D: Similar to shape but shifted. (No Match)
- Shape E: A vertical reflection of shape . (Match)
- Shape F: Similar to shape but not a reflection. (No Match)
- Shape G: Horizontal reflection of shape . (Match)
- Shape H: Shape similar to shape but flipped vertically. (No Match)
Shapes that match with a single reflection of : A, E, and G.

- What types of reflections are possible in geometric transformations?
- How does rotation differ from reflection in transformations?
- What is the effect of reflecting a shape over a diagonal line?
- How would shape look if rotated by 90 degrees?
- What methods can be used to distinguish between reflection and rotation?
Tip: When identifying reflections, look for mirror symmetry across a specific axis!
