Question

Consider the figure below and the following rolotion. Rectangle SIDE is fomed when you reflect PATH across the y-axis. What composition of transformations can you perform if you want to map SIDE back onto PATH without reflecting it back across the y-axis?

Answer 1

Given that a reflection of rectangle PATH across the y-axis forms rectangle SIDE. To map rectangle SIDE back to rectangle PATH without reflecting across the y-axis you'll have to reflect rectangle SIDE across the x-axis, then reflect across y-axis, and then reflect across the x-axis again.

Performing the 3 reflections above will map SIDE back onto PATH

ANSWER:

Reflection of SIDE across the x-axis, then another reflection across the y-axis, and another reflection across the x-axis
