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 ():
1. Left and right positions interchange, while top and bottom positions remain fixed.
2. Elements closer to the mirror line remain closer to the mirror line in the reflected image.
* In the original hexagon, the solid black circular dot is located at the top-right position (nearest to the mirror). In the mirror image, it must appear at the top-left position.
* The inverted black triangle on the middle-left (far from the mirror) must shift to the middle-right side.
* The upright black triangle on the top-left flips horizontally to the top-right position.
Comparing these specifications with the options, Figure (B) matches the correct horizontal reflection.
