Question

In the given figure, the mirror line (i.e. the line of symmetry) is given as a dotted line. Complete the figure performing reflection in the dotted (mirror) line. (You might perhaps place a mirror along the dotted line and look into the mirror for the image). Are you able to recall the name of the figure you completed?

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this question, we should know that the mirror image of an object is the image as seen in a mirror. In a mirror image the right side of the object appears left and vice versa. By using this concept, we can draw the mirror image of the given line.

Complete step-by-step answer:
In this question, we have been given a figure and we have been asked to draw the mirror image against the given dotted line as the mirror line. Whenever we draw the mirror of an object that means the image will have the right side on the left and vice versa. Also, the distance of the real shape will remain the same in the mirror image. By using this concept, we get the mirror image of the shape as

Yes, we can recall this shape. This shape looks like a rhombus because it has all sides of equal length. And we concluded this from the property of reflection, that is, the reflection of the line has the same length as the real line.

Note: While drawing the mirror image of the given shape, we need to remember that the distance between the mirror line and the object is the same as in the real situation and mirror line.
