What happens to the diagonal of a rectangle when the rectangle is reflected across a line of symmetry? What does this suggest about the diagonals of rectangles?

A shape with a line of symmetry will land on itself, when reflected across the line of symmetry. The true statements are:

From the question, we understand that; the rectangle is reflected across the line of symmetry

When this is done, the half of the rectangle will land directly on the other half.

This means that, the diagonal of the rectangle will land perfectly on the other diagonal

The statement above suggests that, the diagonal of a rectangle is also a line of symmetry of the rectangle.

When you reflect a diagonal over a line of symmetry, the diagonal will land perfectly on the other diagonal (and vice versa). This suggests that one diagonal is a mirror copy of the other.

Another way to put it: The vertex points of the rectangle will swap when we reflect over a line of symmetry. A diagonal is simply the opposite vertex points joined together. So this is why the diagonals swap places (because the vertices line up perfectly when you apply the reflection).

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
