What is the property of a figure that can be reflected across a line so that the image coincides with the pre image?

The property is Reflection Symmetry, Line Symmetry or Mirror Symmetry


What does a flip in math?

You do a flip in geometrey when you do transformations. Flip is a transformation in which a plane figure is flipped or reflected across a line, creating a mirror image of the original figure.


What is definition of image in math?

The figure that results from some transformation of a figure. It is often of interest to consider what is the same and what is different about a figure and its image EX: original Image


What does reflectional symmetry mean in math?

It means literally if you reflected the object through the centre of the image, at a specific angle, in a mirror you would get the same image on the mirror with that on the other side. So or example the letter A has one line of reflectional symmetry because if you put a mirror vertically along it, you would see the same image on the mirror as the side that you weren't looking at.


What figure has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?

A figure that has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry is a figure that can be rotated by a certain angle and still look the same, but cannot be reflected across a line to create a mirror image of itself. An example of such a figure is a regular pentagon, which has rotational symmetry of 72 degrees but does not have any lines of symmetry. This means that if you rotate a regular pentagon by 72 degrees, it will look the same, but you cannot reflect it across any line to create a mirror image.

What is a change in the position of a figure that gives the mirror image of the figure?

Reflection.


When one half of a figure is a mirror image of the other?

Symetrical


What is the change in the position of a figure that gives the mirror image of the figure?

Reflection about the y-axis can do that.


When a figure shows one half as a mirror image of the other half?

Then the figure has line symmetry.


What is the definition of reflectional symmetry?

An image has Reflectional Symmetry if there is at least one line which splits the image in half so that one side is the mirror image of the other. Reflectional symmetry is also called line symmetry or mirror symmetry because there is a line in the figure where a mirror could be placed, and the figure would look the same.


What is when on half of a figure is a mirror image and of the other half?

When half of a figure is a mirror image of the other half, it is called bilateral symmetry. This means that both halves of the figure are identical when divided along a specific line. Examples of bilateral symmetry can be found in many organisms, such as butterflies and humans.


What is the transformation called when you flip a figure in a mirror line?

The transformation is called a reflection. In a reflection, each point of the figure is mapped to a corresponding point on the opposite side of the mirror line, maintaining the same distance from the line. This creates a mirror image of the original figure.


How does a concave image produce an image?

An image does not produce an image. However, a concave mirror, specifically one witha parabolic figure, forms an image in its focal plane of an infinitely distant object.


How do you use a mirror to test a figures line of symmetry?

Stand the mirror perpendicular to the figure. When it is positioned on the line of symmetry, the image in the mirror should be the same as the original image. However, this only works with your line of sight being the correct plane.


Is the reflection of a figure in the x-axis equivalent to the rotation of that same figure 180 about the orgin?

It can be but in general a reflection in a line produces a 'mirror image'


A line which divides a figure into two parts each of which is a mirror image of the other is called?

When one half of a figure is a mirror image of the other half?

its either reflecting i think!! im not sure!!
