Answer 1

The correct response is:

Yes, reflection preserves the size of the figure.

Reflection is a type of transformation that does not change the size or shape of the figure. Therefore, if triangle XYZ has a side that is 8 units long, the reflected triangle will also have a corresponding side that is 8 units long.
