Combining reflections and enlargements can lead to some really cool shapes! Let’s break it down step by step:

1. Reflections: Imagine you have a shape. When you reflect it across a line, it flips over that line. For example, if you have a triangle and you reflect it over the x-axis, the triangle will turn upside down.

2. Enlargements: This is when you make a shape bigger using a central point. For instance, if you enlarge the triangle by a scale factor of 2, each side of the triangle will become twice as long.

Now, if we first reflect the triangle and then make it bigger, we will see a larger, flipped version of the original triangle!

Let’s picture this with a triangle we’ll call ABC:

• First, reflect it across the x-axis. Now it becomes A'B'C'.
• Next, we enlarge this new triangle by a scale factor of 2, and we’ll get an even bigger triangle, called A''B''C''.

This combination of reflecting and enlarging creates a really interesting visual effect! It shows how these transformations work together.
