 • TO REFLECT A SHAPE IN
A VERTICAL OR
HORIZONTAL LINE, YOU
NEED A MIRROR LINE.
WHEN A SHAPE IS
REFLECTED, ITS SIZE
DOES NOT CHANGE -
THE IMAGE JUST
APPEARS
‘FLIPPED’. EVERY POINT
ON THE SHAPE IS THE
REFLECTION IN SAME DISTANCE AWAY
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
HORIZANTAL/VERTICAL THE MIRROR LINE  TO
REFLECT A SHAPE YOU
LINE MOVE THE CORNERS
AND THEN JOIN THEM
TOGETHER AT THE END.

REFLECTION IN
DIAGONAL MIRROR
LINE
• TO REFLECT A SHAPE IN A DIAGONAL LINE, A SMALL
ADJUSTMENT TO THE METHOD NEEDS TO BE MADE.
SINCE THE MIRROR LINE IS A DIAGONAL, THE
PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE IS ALSO DIAGONAL. TO
REFLECT A SHAPE ON A DIAGONAL LINE:

1. PICK A VERTEX ON THE OBJECT SHAPE.

2. WORK OUT THE PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE TO THE

MIRROR LINE.

3. MOVE THE CORNER TO ITS REFLECTED POSITION.

4. REPEAT STEPS 1-3 FOR THE OTHER VERTICES.

5. JOIN THE CORNERS TOGETHER TO CREATE THE

REFLECTED SHAPE.
