alleryReflecting a shape twice in the same line does what to it?
AReturns it to its start
BMoves it far away
CTurns it a half turn
DShrinks it to half
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Returns it to its start
1. A reflection is an involution, meaning it undoes itself.
2. The second flip sends every point back to where it began.
3. So the figure is restored, not moved, turned or shrunk.
