The students were actually able to collect 2.25 × 105 pennies for the shelter. A local reporter is writing an article about the success of the drive. He plans to claim that the school's collected pennies, if laid side by side in a straight line without overlapping, would extend from the doors of Valley Stream Central across town to the animal shelter 5 km away. Explain how to use the results of the school's "penny drive" and the information given below to determine whether the reporter's statement is true. (Note: The diameter of one penny is approximately 19 mm, and 1 mm = 1 × 10–6 km.)

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.

according to egenuity the answer is
