1. Question 1

2. Question 1
Triangle ABC on this coordinate grid was created by joining points A (3, 2), B (4, 5) and C (7, 3) with line segments.
Triangle ABC was reflected over the x-axis and then reflected over the y-axis to form the red triangle, where x, y, and z represent the lengths of the sides of the red triangle.
Click the appropriate boxes in the table to show which sides of the triangle have equal lengths.

The students need to pay attention to how the transformations moved along the page. First, it says it was reflected over the x-axis (the horizontal axis). That means it was flipped upside. When this happens, A is now the point on top and B is the bottom point. The second transformation is a reflection over the y-axis (the vertical axis). This means that it is flipped like a mirror image. A is still the top point with B as the bottom most part. Following the transformation, you can see that the x line is really AC; the y line is really BC; and the z line is really AB.
In my powerpoint, I’ve added the first flip and the letters on the triangle to help them solve it. And the second flip and answers too!
