Triangle XYZ has a side that is 8 units long the triangle is reflected across the y-axis does the reflected figure have a side 8 units along how do you know

Question

A. Yes reflection perseveres the orientation of the figure

B. No a reflection figure will be similar then the original figure

C. Yes reflection preserves the size of the figure

D. No reflection figure could be any size

Answer 1

B. No, a reflected figure will be similar to the original figure, but the length of its sides will change.

Answer 2

C. Yes reflection preserves the size of the figure

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is D. No, a reflection figure could be any size. When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the x-coordinates of its points are negated, while the y-coordinates remain the same. This transformation does not preserve the length of the sides.
