The graph is shown below:

The point P(3, 4) is reflected to P' in the x-axis and O' is the image of O(origin) in the line PP'. Find (i) the coordinates of P' and O'. (ii) the length of segments PP' and OO'. (iii) the perimeter of the quadrilateral POP'O'. Reflection, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

(i) From graph we get,

The coordinates of P' and O' are (3, -4) and (6, 0) respectively.

(ii) From graph we get,

Length of PP' = 8 units and OO' = 6 units.

(iii) OP = PO' = O'P' = P'O, as all are hypotenuse for same base and perpendicular.

∴ Perimeter of POP'O' is = 4 × OP

=4×(OQ)2+(PQ)2=4×(3)2+(4)2=4×9+16=4×25=4×5=20 units .= 4 \times \sqrt{(OQ)^2 + (PQ)^2} \\[1em] = 4 \times \sqrt{(3)^2 + (4)^2} \\[1em] = 4 \times \sqrt{9 + 16} \\[1em] = 4 \times \sqrt{25} \\[1em] = 4 \times 5 \\[1em] = 20 \text{ units }.

The perimeter of the quadrilateral POP'O' is 20 units.

(iv) POP'O' is a rhombus.
