Is a 180 degree rotation the same as a reflection?
Answers
Answer:
The reflection is the same as rotating
Explanation:
reflection is the flipping of a point or figure over a line of reflection (the mirror line). A rotation is the turning of a figure or object around a fixed point.

Type angle θ
Rotation 90°
Rotation 180°
Reflection 0°
Reflection 45
180 Degree Rotation. ... Rotation of a point through 180°, about the origin when a point M (h, k) is rotated about the origin O through 180° in anticlockwise or clockwise direction, it takes the new position M' (-h, -k). Worked-out examples on 180 degree rotation about the origin: 1.
The two motions (transformations) can't be compared, since a rotation can be from and to any angle, but a reflection can only be horizontal or vertical. The reflection is the same as rotating the figure 180 degrees.
No, a 180-degree rotation is not the same as a reflection.
On rotating through an angle of 180°, the resultant position of the object will seem to be in an upside-down position, it will not form a reflected position.
But there are some shapes or polygons that have rotational symmetry and on rotating through an angle of 180° it will be in a position that is same to that of reflected position.
