Jack discovers that the orientation of a triangle is counterclockwise. He then reflects the triangle over the y -axis. What is the orientation of the reflected figure?
A. The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
B. The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.
C. The reflected figure has a counterclockwise orientation.
D. There is not enough information to tell.
A. The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
When a triangle is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the figure is reversed. Since the original triangle had a counterclockwise orientation, the reflected figure will have a clockwise orientation.
