A'A = C'C
C'Q = QC
Line P T⊥ A'A
C'C ⊥ B'B
A'A || B'B
m∠TRB = 90°

When a triangle ΔABC is reflected across a line of reflection (Line PT), the following properties and statements about the reflections typically hold true:
1. **A'A = C'C**: This does not need to be true in general. The lengths of the segments from a point to its reflection can vary and are not necessarily equal.
2. **C'Q = QC**: This statement is true. Q is the midpoint of the segment C'C, and since Q is located on the line of reflection, C' will be the same distance from the line of reflection as C.
3. **Line PT ⊥ A'A**: This statement is true. By the property of reflection, a line of reflection is perpendicular to the segment joining each point and its reflected image.
4. **C'C ⊥ B'B**: This statement is not necessarily true. The orientation and position of triangles will determine the angles between segments after reflection.
5. **A'A || B'B**: This statement is true. Reflecting the triangles across the same line preserves the parallelism of corresponding segments between the original and reflected triangles.
6. **m∠TRB = 90°**: This statement is true. Since R is the midpoint of B'B and segment BR lies along the line of reflection, where angles are formed, the angle would indeed be 90°.
In summary, the true statements are:
- **C'Q = QC**
- **Line PT ⊥ A'A**
- **A'A || B'B**
- **m∠TRB = 90°**
