Demonstration of Polygon Reflection Symmetry
2016-03-16 01:54
This GeoGebra applet demonstrates the reflection (axial symmetry) transformation of a polygon. Using the Mirror command, it displays the mirrored image of a polygon, along with its vertices and edges, across an axis of symmetry. It provides an intuitive visualization of the correspondence between the original and reflected figures, helping to understand the properties and construction of geometric
