Math Problem Statement
Solution
To reflect the trapezoid over the y-axis, we need to follow a simple rule for reflection over the y-axis. Each point is reflected to the point . Let's reflect each of the vertices of the trapezoid over the y-axis.
Current Coordinates of Trapezoid ABCD:
Reflected Coordinates:
So, the reflected trapezoid has the following vertices:
Would you like me to plot this reflection or provide more details on the reflection process?
Here are 5 questions related to reflection and transformations:
- What are other types of transformations besides reflection?
- How do you reflect a shape over the x-axis?
- What changes when you reflect a shape over the origin?
- How can we use matrix operations for geometric reflections?
- What are the properties of a trapezoid, and do they change under reflection?
Tip: When reflecting a shape, only the coordinates that lie along the axis of reflection stay unchanged.
