Your friend tells you that reflecting a figure will make the figure’s angles smaller, so it is no longer congruent to the original figure. Is this true? Why or why not? In 3–5 sentences, explain your answer and describe an example that would verify your claim

Answer 1

This statement is not true. Reflecting a figure does not change the size of its angles or make it no longer congruent to the original figure. A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line, but it does not change the size or shape of the figure. For example, if you have a right triangle and reflect it across a line, the angles of the reflected triangle will still be the same as the original triangle, and the two triangles will be congruent.
