The given figure is reflected about the horizontal dashed line and then rotated clockwise by 90° about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Which one of the following options correctly shows the resultant figure? Note: The figures shown are representative
Show Hint
When dealing with reflection and rotation problems, visualize the transformations step by step. Begin with the reflection, then apply the rotation to each shape, carefully considering their new orientation.
Step 1: Reflection Reflect the figure across the horizontal dashed line, inverting it along the axis of reflection. Both the lightning bolt and curved shapes will be mirrored. Step 2: Rotation Next, rotate the figure 90° clockwise about an axis perpendicular to its plane. This will rotate each shape 90° clockwise. Applying these transformations reveals that option (B) correctly matches the described process. Therefore, the correct answer is (B).
