  1. Geometry

    Reflect a point across the x-axis

    Use coordinate structure to describe a reflection across the x-axis.

  2. Geometry

    Find a polygon’s interior-angle sum

    Use a triangle decomposition to find an angle sum.

  3. Geometry & measurement

    Find a right-triangle hypotenuse

    Apply the Pythagorean theorem to perpendicular side lengths.

  4. Geometry & measurement

    Relate the volume of a right circular cylinder to its circular base area and height.

AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS CHAPTER

Reflect the point (2, 3) across the x-axis. What are the image coordinates?

Show answer & explanation

(2, -3)

The horizontal coordinate stays 2. The vertical coordinate changes from 3 to -3, so the image is (2, -3).
