Use graph paper for this question.
The points A(2, 3), B(4, 5) and C(7, 2) are the vertices of ΔABC.
(i) Write down the co-ordinates of A', B', C' if ΔA'B'C' is the image of ΔABC when reflected in the origin.
(ii) Write down the co-ordinates of A", B", C" if ΔA"B"C" is the image of ΔABC when reflected in the x-axis.
(iii) Mention the special name of the quadrilateral BCC"B" and find its area.

Answer
The graph is shown below:

(i) From graph we get,
The coordinates of A', B', C' are (-2, -3), (-4, -5) and (-7, -2) respectively.
(ii) From graph we get,
The coordinates of A", B", C" are (2, -3), (4, -5) and (7, -2) respectively.
(iii) From graph we get,
BB" // CC" and BC = B"C" (As on reflection the length between the points do not changes)
BCC"B" formed is an isosceles trapezium.
We know that,
Hence, BCC"B" formed is an isosceles trapezium and area of BCC"B" = 21 sq.units.
