Looking at Problem 4, I can see two triangles on the coordinate plane:
- The green triangle has vertices at approximately A(-5,3), B(-2,-3), C(-5,-3)
- The pink triangle has vertices at approximately A'(5,3), B'(2,-3), C'(5,-3)
I notice that the x-coordinates of the pink triangle are the negatives of the x-coordinates of the green triangle, while the y-coordinates remain the same. This indicates that the green triangle ABC was reflected over the y-axis to form the pink triangle A'B'C'.
Now I have analyzed all the problems and can provide the solutions.
Solution:
Problem 1 (already completed as an example): Triangle PQR was reflected over the x-axis to form triangle P'Q'R'.
Problem 2: Square ABCD was reflected over the y-axis to form square A'B'C'D'.
Problem 3: Trapezoid WXYZ was reflected over the x-axis to form trapezoid W'X'Y'Z'.
Problem 4: Triangle ABC was reflected over the y-axis to form triangle A'B'C'.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of reflections worksheet answers.
