If you mean that mirrors supposedly exchange right and left - well, they don't. A mirror will show the top at the top, the bottom at the bottom, the right at the right, and the left at the left. The only thing they do invert is front and back: the reflection of a thing that is closer to the mirror is (or seems to be) closer to us.

How does lateral inversion happen?
Lateral inversion is caused because the distance of the image behind the surface of a (flat) mirror is same as the distance that the object is in front of the mirror. So the image is reversed from "front to back". The image often APPEARS to be reversed sideways instead of front to back. "Lateral" means sideways.

Is your little toe lateral to your torso?
The little toe is lateral to the foot. It is distal to the torso. Lateral means to the side.
What type of symmetry does a wombat have?
Wombats, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

What is the lateral and surface area of a right prism?
The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of all the lateral faces. A lateral face is not a base. The surface area is the total area of all faces.Lateral Area: The lateral area of a right prism with base perimeter P and height h is L=Ph.Surface Area: The surface area of a right prism with lateral area L and base area is B is S = L + 2B, or S = Ph + 2B.
