Do reflections have the same orientation? In other words, if a shape is reflected, do both figures still have the same orientation?

I think so.

Step-by-step explanation:

With letters, no, and some shapes would be reversed, like a triangle with lengths that are all different from eachother.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
