Find the mirror image of the figure, if the mirror is placed at .
- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When a mirror is placed vertically on the right side along the line :
1. The left and right sides of the figure are interchanged, while the top and bottom remain unchanged.
2. Elements that are closer to the mirror line will appear closer to the mirror in the reflected image.
* In the original hexagon, the solid black circle is on the top-right (near the mirror). In the mirror image, it must appear on the top-left.
* The inverted black triangle on the left side (away from the mirror) must appear on the right side in the mirror image.
* The upright black triangle on the top-left shifts to the top-right position.
Comparing these points with the given options, Figure (B) matches the correct reflection perfectly.
