Practice Orientation in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
The rotational position of a figure in space, or the arrangement of its vertices as clockwise or counterclockwise.
Which way is up? Which way are you facing? That's orientation.
Example 1
easyA triangle has vertices listed counterclockwise as A, B, C. After a reflection, the vertices appear clockwise. Has the orientation changed?
Example 2
mediumVertices of triangle ABC are at A(0,0), B(4,0), C(2,3). Using the signed area formula, determine the orientation.
Example 3
easyDoes a 90° rotation change the orientation of a figure?
Example 4
hardA left-handed glove is reflected in a mirror. Can the reflected image be rotated in 3D to match the original left-handed glove?
