Practice Rotation in Math
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
A rigid transformation that turns every point of a figure by a fixed angle around a fixed center of rotation.
Like a Ferris wheel turning around its center hubβevery seat traces a circle, staying the same distance from the axle while sweeping through the same angle.
Example 1
easyRotate the point A(3, 2) by 90Β° counterclockwise about the origin. Where does A end up?
Example 2
mediumRotate the point B(4, 0) by 60Β° counterclockwise about the origin. Give exact coordinates.
Example 3
easyWhat is the image of point (0, 5) after a 180Β° rotation about the origin?
Example 4
hardTriangle with vertices A(1,0), B(3,0), C(2,2) is rotated 90Β° CCW about the point (1,0). Find the new vertices.
