Question

practice & problem solving

1. describe the transformations that can be used to map the figure onto itself.

Explanation:

The figure is symmetric about its central point and the vertical/horizontal line through its center. A 180-degree rotation around the central point will map each part of the figure to its mirror counterpart on the opposite side, aligning the figure perfectly with itself. Additionally, a reflection across the vertical (or horizontal) line passing through the central point will flip the figure onto its matching half, resulting in the same original figure.

Answer:

1. A 180° rotation about the central point of the figure.
2. A reflection across the vertical (or horizontal) line that passes through the figure's central point.
