Step-by-step solution for: Symmetry 2 - Geometry (Shape) by URBrainy.com
To solve the problem of completing the symmetrical patterns using a mirror line, we need to reflect the given part of each pattern across the mirror line. Here's how to approach it step by step:
---
- A mirror line (or axis of symmetry) divides a shape into two parts that are mirror images of each other.
- To complete the pattern, we need to replicate the existing red squares on the opposite side of the mirror line, ensuring they are mirrored correctly.
---
#### Pattern 1:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the left side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the left side to the right side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| |
| R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 2:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the right side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the right side to the left side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| |
| R R R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 3:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the left side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the left side to the right side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R |
| R R R |
| R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 4:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the right side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the right side to the left side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| R R R |
| R R R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 5:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the right side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the right side to the left side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| R R R |
| R R R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 6:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the left side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the left side to the right side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| R R R |
| R R R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 7:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
- Given Part: Red squares are on the right side of the mirror line.
- Reflection: Copy the red squares from the right side to the left side, maintaining the same distance from the mirror line.
- Completed Pattern:
```
| R R R |
| R R R |
| R R R |
| |
```
#### Pattern 8:
- Mirror Line: Vertical
