300

Reflect triangle ABC over the line:

y=x

and label the image A'B'C'

300

Reflect over the y-axis and then rotate clockwise 90° around P'

400

What angles of rotational symmetry are there for a regular hexagon?

Multiples of 60° (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360)

400

Reflect quadrilateral ABCD over the line:

y=2+x

and label the image A'B'C'D'

400

Reflect triangle ABC over the line:

y=x

and label the image A'B'C'.

Rotate A'B'C' 180° counter-clockwise around the origin and label the image A''B''C''

400

Find a sequence of transformations that will carry triangle RST onto triangle R’S’T’. Clearly describe the sequence of transformations.

Translate left 8 so S coincides with S'

Reflect across S'T' so R lands on R'

9 sides

500

Reflect point P over line j.
