1 Lesson 18 Understanding Reflections 8.G.1.a, 8.G.1.b, 8.G.1.c, 8.G., 8.G.3 1 Getting the idea A reflection is a tpe of transformation in which ou flip a figure across a line called the line of reflection. The starting figure is called the pre-image, and the figure after the reflection is called the image. The names of the points in the images of a transformation are shown using a prime smbol (9). A D image B B C C line of reflection A D pre-image The image formed b a reflection is congruent to the pre-image because the figure s size and shape do not change. Unlike other tpes of transformations, a reflection forms a mirror image, so the figures are congruent and the same distance from the line of reflection.

2 Step 1 Compare each image to the pre-image. In Figure A, the image is formed b sliding nrst to a different location and b reducing its size. The image is not congruent to the pre-image. In Figure B, a congruent image is formed b turning nlmn around a point. In Figure C, a congruent image is formed b flipping n JKL over a line. In Figure D, the image is formed b sliding nbcd to a different location. The image is congruent to the pre-image. Step Identif which of the four figures shows a reflection of the pre-image. Figure C shows a reflection because the pre-image flips across a line of reflection to form a congruent mirror image. Solution The image in Figure C is a reflection of n JKL. Eample Verif that quadrilateral K9L9M9N9 is a reflection of quadrilateral KLMN b showing that (a) the sides of the image and the pre-image are congruent, (b) the angles of the image and the pre-image are congruent, and (c) corresponding vertices are the same distance from the line of reflection. N K K N M M L L Strateg Use a ruler to measure side lengths and the distance of points from the line of reflection. Use a protractor to measure angles. Step 1 Use a ruler to show that corresponding sides of the image and the pre-image are congruent. KL 5.9 cm and K9L9 5.9 cm, so KL > K9L9 LM 5.7 cm and L9M9 5.7 cm, so LM > L9M9 MN 5. cm and M9N9 5. cm, so MN > M9N9 NK 5. cm and N9K9 5. cm, so NK > N9K9 Duplicating an part of this book is prohibited b law. 015 Triumph Learning, LLC 190 Domain : Geometr

3 Step Use a protractor to show that corresponding angles of the image and the pre-image are congruent. m/k 5 m/k , so /K > /K9 m/l 5 m/l9 5 88, so /L > /L9 m/m 5 m/m , so /M > /M9 m/n 5 m/n , so /N > /N9 Step 3 Use a ruler to show that corresponding vertices of the image and the pre-image are the same distance from the line of reflection. Draw a line segment from each verte of quadrilateral KLMN to the corresponding verte of quadrilateral K9L9M9N9. Then measure the distance from each verte to the line of reflection. distance from point K to the line 5 distance from point K9 to the line cm distance from point L to the line 5 distance from point L9 to the line 5 1. cm distance from point M to the line 5 distance from point M9 to the line cm distance from point N to the line 5 distance from point N9 to the line 5.8 cm Since corresponding vertices of the image and the pre-image are the same distance from the line of reflection, the image and the pre-image are congruent. Solution Since corresponding sides are congruent, corresponding angles are congruent, and corresponding vertices are the same distance from the line of reflection, quadrilateral K9L9M9N9 is a reflection of quadrilateral KLMN.

EF 5 E9F9 5. cm, so EF > E9F9 FG 5 F9G cm, so FG > F9G9 GH 5 G9H cm, so GH > G9H9 HE 5 H9E cm, so HE > H9E9 Step Use a protractor to show that corresponding angles of the image and the pre-image are congruent. m/e 5 m/e , so /E > /E9 m/f 5 m/f9 5 08, so /F > /F9 m/g 5 m/g , so /G > /G9 m/h 5 m/h , so /H > /H9 Step 3 Use a ruler to show that corresponding vertices of the image and the pre-image are the same distance from the line of reflection. distance from point E to the line 5 distance from point E9 to the line 5.8 cm distance from point F to the line 5 distance from point F9 to the line cm distance from point G to the line 5 distance from point G9 to the line 5 0. cm distance from point H to the line 5 distance from point H9 to the line 5.1 cm Solution Quadrilateral EFGH and its image quadrilateral E9F9G9H9 are congruent because their corresponding sides and angles are congruent and corresponding vertices are the same distance from the line of reflection.

AB 5 A9B9 5 CD 5 C9D9 5 units BC 5 B9C9 5 DA 5 D9A9 5 3 units Corresponding sides are congruent. Step Find the measure of each angle and compare. All of the angles in rectangles ABCD and A9B9C9D9 are right angles. Corresponding angles are congruent.

Corresponding sides and angles are congruent, so the pre-image and image are congruent. Lesson 18: Understanding Reflections 193
