  1. In the figure below, point Z is the image of point X resulting from successive reflections through parelle! lines, /, and /,. a - 11 Ne ee A\mathscr { A } a) Label the distance from X to /, 2 and the distance from ¥ to i, &. Also label the distances from Y to |, and Z to i, in terms of aand b.

p) What is the distance between !, and f, in terms of @ and bb?

a) Let AA be the intersection of XYXY and l1l_1 and BB be the intersection of YZYZ and l2l_2. Since YY is XX reflected across l1l_1, then XYl1XY\perp l_1 and XA=AYXA=AY. Since ZZ is YY reflected across l2l_2, then YZl2YZ\perp l_2 and YB=BZYB=BZ. The distance from XX to l1l_1 is then XAXA and the distance from YY to l1l_1 is AYAY. Since these line segments are congruent, label them both as aa. The distance from YY to l2l_2 is YBYB and the distance from ZZ to l2l_2 is BZBZ. Since these line segments are congruent, label them both as bb.
