Axial Symmetry and Reflection Demonstration
2020-07-02 05:44
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates axial symmetry and reflection in plane geometry. Using Polygon, Line, and Mirror commands, it constructs a figure and its reflected image across a symmetry axis. It visually illustrates geometric properties, helping users understand corresponding points and segments during reflection, ideal for teaching symmetry.
