Yes, reflection preserves the orientation of the figure.
Thats wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response.

No, a reflected figure does not necessarily have a side that is 8 units long. When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, its orientation is preserved but its position is flipped. The reflected figure will have the same size as the original figure, but its side lengths and measurements may change.
Thats also wrong
Apologies again for the incorrect response.

No, a reflected figure does have a side that is 8 units long. When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, its orientation is preserved but its position is flipped. The reflected figure will have the same side lengths as the original figure.
All the answers you chose are wrong
Apologies for the incorrect responses. Let me correct it.

No, the reflected figure does not have a side that is 8 units long. When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the orientation is preserved but the position is flipped. The lengths of the sides will remain the same, but their positions will change in relation to the y-axis. In this case, the reflected figure will also have a side that is 8 units long.
nope the answer was "Yes, reflection preserves the size of the figure."
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The correct answer is indeed "Yes, reflection preserves the size of the figure." When a figure is reflected across the y-axis, the size of the figure remains the same. The side that is 8 units long in the original triangle will also be 8 units long in the reflected triangle. Thank you for pointing that out.
You're incompetent
I apologize if my previous responses were not clear or satisfactory. I strive to provide accurate and helpful information. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
