To rotate a shape using reflection, you would typically mirror the shape across a line (such as the x-axis, y-axis, or a custom line). The reflection operation then creates the rotated shape as a mirror image of the original shape.

Reflecting a shape means creating a mirror image of the original shape by flipping it over a line called the reflection axis. This results in an image that is an exact copy of the original, but in the opposite direction. The reflection axis serves as the line of symmetry between the original shape and its reflection.
A reflection of a wave appears as the wave bouncing back from a boundary or surface, changing direction but maintaining its original shape. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection.
A reflection is the process of thinking deeply or carefully about something. It involves analyzing experiences, thoughts, or behaviors to gain insight, learn from mistakes, or make improvements in the future. Reflection is often used in education, personal development, and professional growth.
A regular reflection forms an image that is identical in size and shape to the original object, but appears to be reversed left to right.
The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night to occur.
