To determine if a shape is a reflection of a preimage, one can follow these steps. Firstly, examine if the corresponding angles between the preimage and the image are congruent. Next, check if the corresponding sides are of equal length. Finally, compare the orientation of the shapes to see if they are mirror images of each other. For example, if a triangle ABC with angles measuring 45°, 60°, and 75° is reflected to form triangle A'B'C', the angles and lengths of the sides should remain the same, while the orientation of the triangle would be flipped.
