Simple reflection is a geometric transformation that flips a figure over a specified line, creating a mirror image. This transformation preserves distance and angle measures, ensuring that the reflected figure is congruent to the original figure.

Simple Reflection

Geometric transformation involves changing the position, size, or orientation of a shape or object in a coordinate space, while preserving certain properties. It is fundamental in fields like computer graphics, robotics, and image processing for manipulating visual data and modeling spatial relationships.

A mirror image is a reflection of an object that appears identical but reversed, as seen in a mirror. This phenomenon is crucial in understanding symmetry, optics, and the perception of spatial orientation in both natural and artificial environments.

Angle measures quantify the rotation between two intersecting lines or rays, typically expressed in degrees or radians. Understanding angle measures is fundamental in geometry, trigonometry, and various applications across physics and engineering.
