Jack discovers that the orientation of a triangle is counterclockwise. He then reflects the triangle over the y-axis. What is the orientation of the reflected figure? (1 point)
• There is not enough information to tell
• The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation
The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.
• The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation.
1 answer
The reflected figure will have a counterclockwise orientation. Reflecting a figure over the y-axis does not change the direction of the orientation. Therefore, if the original triangle had a counterclockwise orientation, the reflected figure will also have a counterclockwise orientation.
