Answer 1

A reflection is a mirror image of an object. An object is first reflected in the y-axis followed by a reflection around the x-axis. The image is a reflection around the origin of the object.

examples of cultural artifacts are Egyptian pyramids where their patterns have been developed using reflection. The pyramids have been built in a manner that they reflect each other showing the relationship between mathematical trigonometry and art.
