The statement "The new trapezoid is in the same orientation as the original trapezoid" is not true.

When a trapezoid is reflected across the x-axis:

• The size remains the same.
• The shape remains the same.
• The x-coordinates remain unchanged. However, the orientation changes because the reflection flips the figure vertically, creating a mirror image.

Would you like more details on how reflections work?

Here are five related questions for deeper understanding:

1. What happens to the y-coordinates when a shape is reflected across the x-axis?
2. How does a reflection differ from a rotation in geometry?
3. What properties of a trapezoid remain unchanged after a reflection across any axis?
4. Can a reflection change the area of a trapezoid?
5. How would the reflection change if the trapezoid were reflected across the y-axis instead?

Tip: In geometric transformations, reflections always produce mirror images across the line of reflection.
