- For the first shape (top left), reflect each vertex across the vertical mirror line to the right. The completed shape will be a symmetrical figure resembling a stylized "8" or hourglass with internal rectangles mirrored on both sides.
- For the second shape (top right), reflect each vertex across the horizontal mirror line downward. The completed shape will be a symmetrical zigzag or wave pattern extending below the line, mirroring the top portion.
- For the third shape (bottom left), reflect each vertex across the horizontal mirror line upward. The completed shape will be a symmetrical angular form with peaks and valleys mirrored above the line.
- For the fourth shape (bottom right), reflect each vertex across the vertical mirror line to the left. The completed shape will be a symmetrical jagged or lightning-bolt-like figure mirrored on both sides of the vertical line.
