What would it mean in maths describe fully the reflection that maps shape b onto shape a?

To describe a particular transformation fully, it means to describe what has happened to shape B to make it into shape A.
In this instance, you would start off your description with "Reflection". Next, you must identify the mirror line which is between shape B and A. Make sure to mark it in. Next, you would write Mirror Line= ?? (We will replace the ?? later). Because all transformations are on graphs with co-ordinates, you will need to work out where your mirror line lies. An example would be, Mirror Line: x=2. This means the mirror line is on the 2nd sector within the X axis.
Hope this makes sense. It probably is a little confusing but with a few drawn examples it would be a lot better to understand.

What is a face value in maths?
A face value in maths is the out-side of the shape, as to say the face of a shape. The face value is the sides of a shape.
Does a reflection change the orientation of a shape?
It will, unless the shape is symmetrical and the axis of reflection is parallel to the axis of symmetry.
What is a reflection as a math term?
A reflection is when a shape flips completely over. The coordinates of the shape will opposite as well. The reflection can change depending what you are flipping it over.
How can you use reflection to rotate a shape?
To rotate a shape using reflection, you would typically mirror the shape across a line (such as the x-axis, y-axis, or a custom line). The reflection operation then creates the rotated shape as a mirror image of the original shape.
Is a diamond a shape in maths?
No, but a diamond is.
Is it a glide-reflection rotation reflection or translation?
A glide reflection is where you reflect the shape and translate it. A glide rotation is where you rotate a shape and translate it. A glide translation doesn't exist.
What is the definition of reflection in math terms?
thank you When an image or shape finds a reflection of itself to where it is an exact copy of that image or shape.
