We know about reflecting something across a line. We know that when we reflect something across a line, the distance from each original point to the line is that same as the distance from its reflection to the line.[br][br]But what does it mean to reflect an object through a point? The following activities will help you understand!

[center][color=#ff0000] Hopefully, you now realize an important fact:[br][br][b]REFLECTING AN OBJECT THROUGH A POINT[/b] [br]is the same as [br][b]ROTATING AN OBJECT 180 DEGREES AROUND THAT SAME POINT.[/b][/color][/center]

For each sketch, show the transformations on the graph and write out the sequence of steps required to map [math]\Delta[/math]PQR onto [math]\Delta[/math]EFG. FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE GIVEN IN CLASS, SHOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.[br]
