alleryWhich symmetry combines a reflection with a translation?
AScale symmetry
BGlide reflection
CHelical symmetry
DRotoreflection
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Glide reflection
1. A glide reflection is a mirror flip followed by a slide along the mirror line.
2. Rotoreflection pairs a reflection with a rotation, not a slide.
3. Helical symmetry pairs a rotation with a translation, and scale symmetry is about resizing.
