In the following figures, the mirror line (i.e., the line of symmetry) is given as a dotted line. Complete each figure performing reflection in the dotted (mirror) line. (You might perhaps place a mirror along the dotted line and look into the mirror for the image). Are you able to recall the name of the figure you complete?
Question Figure | Solution image | Explanation |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is a square, since all sides are equal. |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is a triangle, since there are 3 sides in the resulting figure. |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is a rhombus, since all sides are equal and the angle between the sides is not 90°. |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is a circle, since the radius of the figure is uniform. |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is a pentagon, since there are five sides and all sides are equal. |
|
| The other side of the figure is found by just flipping the image onto the vertical axis. The figure is an octagon, since there are eight sides and all sides are equal. |
