Question #18

Gwen seems a bit perplexed as she views her image in the plane (flat) mirror.

She is perplexed because she cannot figure out exactly how to describe her image in the mirror. So that is the question for this week.

When you view your image in a plane mirror, is your image

• (a) inverted top-to-bottom?
• (b) inverted left-to-right?
• (c) inverted front-to-back?
• (d) not inverted at all?

You may vote for as many of the above answers as you wish, as long as you are consistent.
