What is a rotation in geometry?

Back

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.

Front

How do you determine the center of rotation for a figure?

Back

The center of rotation is the fixed point around which the figure rotates, which can be a point on the figure or outside of it.

What is the difference between a rotation and a translation?

Back

A rotation turns a figure around a point, while a translation slides a figure from one position to another without changing its shape or orientation.
