U3 - Lesson 4 Notes - Rotations

1. The document is about rotations of figures and includes examples rotating a triangle through 90, 180, and 270 degrees counterclockwise. 2. Key aspects of rotations discussed are the two "D's" - the fixed point of rotation (the origin) and the degree of rotation. 3. After a rotation, the image of the figure will be congruent to the original, as rotations preserve size and shape without changing the figure.

Rotation - turning a figure about a fixed point

How can we turn objects?

1.

2.

We need to know the two “D’s” of rotations:

1.

2.

After a rotation has been performed, is the image going to be similar or congruent? Explain.

Example:

1
1. Triangle ABC is labeled on your graph below.

a) Rotate Triangle ABC, 90o counterclockwise. Label the triangle A′ B′ C′.

b) Rotate Triangle ABC, 180o counterclockwise. Label the triangle A″ B″ C″.

c) Rotate Triangle ABC, 270o counterclockwise. Label the triangle A′′′ B′′′ C′′′.

2. Organize your results from Part A in the table.

Starting 90° 180° 270° 360°


Point Rotation CC Rotation CC Rotation CC Rotation CC
A (1, 4)

B (5, 2)

C (2, 0)

3. Complete each rule for finding the image of any point (x, y) under the given rotation.

a) 90° rotation about the origin: (x, y) → ( , )

b) 180° rotation about the origin: (x, y) → ( , )

c) 270° rotation about the origin: (x, y) → ( , )

d) 360° rotation about the origin: (x, y) → ( , )

4. What are the coordinates of (3, - 2) under a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin?

5. What are the coordinates of (- 5, 4) under a 180° counterclockwise rotation about the origin?

6. What are the coordinates of ( 3, 2) under a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin?

7.
a. Draw the final image created by rotating triangle RST 90° counterclockwise about the
origin and then reflecting the image in the x-axis.

b. Draw the final image created by reflecting triangle RST in the x-axis and then rotating the
image 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

c. Are the final images in parts (a) and (b) the same? Why or why not?
