Reflections
Another isometry is a reflection, or flip. One
example of a reflection often encountered in our
daily lives is a mirror image.
A reflection in a line ℓ is a transformation of a
plane that pairs each point P of the plane with a
point P′ in such a way that ℓ is the perpendicular
bisector of PP′, as long as P is not on ℓ. If P is on
ℓ, then P = P′.

Reflections
We can obtain reflections in a line in various
ways.Folding the paper along the reflecting line
and drawing the image gives the mirror image, or
image, of the half tree. Another way to simulate a
reflection in a line involves using a Mira.

Constructing a Reflection by Using
Tracing Paper
Trace the original figure,
the reflecting line, and a
point on the reflecting
line, which we use as a
reference point. Flip the
tracing paper over to
perform the reflection,
and align the reflecting
line and the reference
point.

Constructing a Reflection on Dot Paper
or a Geoboard
The image AB is reflected about line m.

Example 13-6
Find the image of ΔABC under a reflection in line m.

Reflections in a Coordinate System
For some reflecting lines, like the x-axis and y-axis
and the line y = x, it is quite easy to find the
coordinates of the image, given the coordinates of
the point.

Reflections in a Coordinate System
The image of A(1, 4)
is A′(4, 1).
The image of B(−3, 0)
is B′ (0, −3).

Light Reflecting from a Surface
Copyright © 2013, 2010, and 2007, Pearson Education, Inc.
Light Reflecting from a Surface
When a ray of light bounces off a mirror, the angle
of incidence (the angle formed by the incoming
rays and a line perpendicular to the mirror), is
congruent to the angle of reflection (the angle
between the reflected ray and the line
perpendicular to the mirror).

Glide Reflections
Another basic isometry, a glide reflection, is a
transformation consisting of a translation followed
by a reflection in a line parallel to the slide arrow.

Congruence via Isometries
It is possible to define two figures as congruent if,
and only if, one is an image of the other under an
isometry or a composition of isometries.

Example 13-7
ABCD is a rectangle. Describe
a sequence of isometries to
show:
a. ΔADC  ΔCBA
A half-turn of ΔADC with center E is one
transformation.

Example 13-7
(continued)
b. ΔADC  ΔBCD
A reflection in a line passing
through E and parallel to AD is
one transformation.
c. ΔADC  ΔDAB
A reflection of ΔADC in a line passing through E
and parallel to DC is one transformation.
