Question

look at this shape: image of a grid with a l - shaped figure which image shows a reflection? three images labeled a, b, c with different l - shaped figures

Explanation:

Step1: Recall reflection definition

A reflection (mirror image) flips the shape over a line, creating a mirror - like copy. The original shape is an L - shaped figure (let's analyze its orientation: the "corner" is at the bottom left of the L - part, and it extends right and down).

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A: The shape in A is a mirror image of the original shape. If we imagine a vertical or horizontal line of reflection, the orientation of the L - shape is flipped correctly. The "corner" position and the direction of the arms of the L are reversed as in a reflection.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B: This shape looks like a translation (a slide) of the original shape, not a reflection. The orientation is the same as the original, just moved, so it's not a reflection.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C: This shape looks like a rotation of the original shape (maybe 90 - degree rotation), not a reflection. The orientation is changed in a rotational way, not a mirror - like flip.

Answer:

A. The shape in option A shows a reflection of the original shape.
