Reflections

Question 7 • Q5 Geometry New 2022

After a reflection, segments are drawn between corresponding points on the image of a triangle and its preimage. What is the relationship between all of these segments?

Answer
A
They are the same length.
B
They are parallel.
C
They are perpendicular.
D
No universal relationship exists.

Explanation

In a reflection, each point and its image lie on opposite sides of the line of reflection, and the segment joining them is perpendicular to that line. Since all the corresponding-point segments are perpendicular to the same line, they are parallel to one another. So the best answer is B, “They are parallel.”
