Two Reflections

Two reflections over intersecting lines.
Reflecting over two intersecting lines is the same as a rotation. Use this diagram to compare the angle of rotation with the angle of intersection of the lines of reflection.[br][br]1. Measure the angle of rotation. [br]2. Measure the angle between the lines of reflection.[br]3. Move the blue or the red points to compare the measures of the angles.
Two reflections over parallel lines
Reflecting over two parallel lines is the same as a translation. Use this diagram to compare the distance of translation with the distance between the lines of reflection.[br][br]1. Measure the distance of translation. [br]2. Measure the distance between the lines of reflection.[br]3. Move the blue or the red points to compare the distances.[br]*The dotted line is perpendicular to the lines of reflection to measure distance accurately.
