Reflection Symmetry

What happens when you reflect the regular pentagon below across line f? Why is the line of
reflection in this case called a line of symmetry?

[Figure1]

Reflection Symmetry
A shape has symmetry if it is indistinguishable from its transformed image. A shape
has reflection symmetry if there exists a line of reflection that carries the shape onto
itself. This line of reflection is called a line of symmetry. In other words, if you can
reflect a shape across a line and the shape looks like it never moved, it has reflection
symmetry.
A rectangle is an example of a shape with reflection symmetry. A line of reflection
through the midpoints of opposite sides will always be a line of symmetry. 

[Figure2]
A rectangle has two lines of symmetry. You can imagine folding the rectangle along
each line of symmetry and each half of the rectangle would match up perfectly.
Remember that a shape has to have at least one line of symmetry for it to be
considered a shape with reflection symmetry.
