How to reflect a trapezoid over a line of symmetry

The video tutorial explains how to reflect a shape over a line, using the concept of a mirror. It emphasizes estimating distances without measurements and ensuring points are equidistant from the line of reflection. The tutorial highlights that a correct reflection results in a line of symmetry, and concludes with a brief Q&A session.

What is the primary concept behind reflecting an object over a line?

• Rotating the object around a point

• Sliding the object along a plane

• Flipping the object as if using a mirror

• Scaling the object to a different size

When estimating distances for reflection, what is crucial to ensure?

• The object is scaled proportionally

• The distances are equal on both sides of the line

• The object is moved to a new location

• The object is rotated correctly

If a point lies on the line of reflection, what happens to its reflected image?

• It scales up in size

• It rotates around the line

• It remains on the line of reflection

• It moves to the opposite side

What does a correctly done reflection create in the overall image?

• A rotated image

• A scaled image

• A line of symmetry

• A new shape

What is the result of a reflection in terms of symmetry?

• The image is rotated

• The image is scaled

• The image has a line of symmetry

• The image becomes asymmetrical
