think icon Think & Click: Rotations

Now, you try. Complete the Think & Click activity by looking at each problem below, thinking about it, and then clicking on the question to reveal the solution.

For Questions #1-3, use the following image:

Triangle with vertices A (negative 1, 5), B (4, 2) and C (0, negative 4)
Triangle ABC

 

1.  What are the new vertices if the image is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin?

A’ (-5, -1)
B’ (-2, 4)
C’ (4, 0)

2. What are the new vertices if the image is rotated 90° clockwise around the origin?

A’ (5, 1)
B’ (2, -4)
C’ (-4, 0)

3. What are the new vertices if the image is rotated 180° counterclockwise around the origin?

A’ (1, -5)
B’ (-4, -2)
C’ (0, 4)
