Look at the shaded triangle. Describe two ways of drawing the square design below using any combination of translation , reflection ,and rotations of figure I (the shaded triangle).

Asked by andrew9000

Answer (2)

The first way:

Reflect the figure I across the x-axis.
Translate the figure I and its reflection and rotate them 90 degrees.

The second way:

Reflect the figure I across the x-axis.
Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Rotate it across the y-axis.

To create a square design using a shaded triangle, you can reflect it across the x-axis, translate, and rotate it for one method. In a second method, you can reflect the triangle, rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise, and then reflect it across the y-axis. Both methods use transformations to achieve the desired design symmetry.
