Problem 2

Here is quadrilateral \(ABCD\) and line \(\ell\).

Quadrilateral \(A \)  \(B\)   \(C\)   \(D\) and dashed line \(l\) with a positive slope. \(B\)  \(C\) is parallel to line \(l\). 

Draw the image of quadrilateral \(ABCD\) after reflecting it across line \(\ell\).

Problem 3

Here is quadrilateral \(ABCD\).

 

Quadrilateral A B C D. A B, A D and D C all have negative slopes. B C has a positive slope. A B C D has no parallel sides and no right angles.

 

Draw the image of quadrilateral \(ABCD\) after each rotation using \(B\) as center.

  1. 90 degrees clockwise
  2. 120 degrees clockwise
  3. 30 degrees counterclockwise
