Core 8 - Rotations

Front

What is rotation in geometry?

Back

Rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation.

Front

What is the center of rotation?

Back

The center of rotation is the point around which a figure is rotated.

Front

How many degrees are in a full rotation?

Back

A full rotation is 360 degrees.

Front

What does a 90-degree clockwise rotation do to a figure?

Back

It turns the figure 90 degrees to the right.

Front

What does a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation do to a figure?

Back

It turns the figure 90 degrees to the left.

Front

What is the result of a 180-degree rotation?

Back

A 180-degree rotation flips the figure to the opposite side.

Front

What is another term for rotation?

Back

Turn.

Front

If triangle D is rotated 270° counterclockwise, what is the equivalent clockwise rotation?

Back

90° clockwise.

Front

What is the effect of a 360-degree rotation on a figure?

Back

The figure remains in the same position.

Front

How can you identify a rotation transformation?

Back

By observing the angle of rotation and the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise).
