our friend tells you that reflecting a figure will make the figure’s angles smaller, so it is no longer congruent to the original figure. Is this true? Why or why not? In 3–5 sentences, explain your answer and describe an example that would verify your claim.(4 points)
No, this statement is not true. Reflecting a figure does not change the sizes of the angles in the figure. The angles in a figure are determined by the lengths of the sides and the shape of the figure, which remain unchanged under reflection. For example, if we have a square and reflect it across a line of reflection, the resulting figure will still have four right angles of the same measure as the original square.
