Geometry Rotations Quiz

What is the direction of rotation for positive degree values?

• Clockwise

• Counterclockwise

• Both directions

• Neither direction

When rotating a shape 90 degrees counterclockwise, what happens to the y-coordinate?

• It is negated

• It is halved

• It is doubled

• It remains the same

How do you determine the new position of a point after a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation?

• Switch x and y, negate y

• Switch x and y, negate x

• Keep x and y the same

• Negate both x and y

Which of the following is a rule for rotating 180 degrees counterclockwise?

• Switch x and y, negate x

• Negate both x and y

• Negate x only

• Switch x and y, negate y

Which rotation rule applies to a 270-degree clockwise rotation?

• Negate y only

• Switch x and y, negate y

• Negate both x and y

• Switch x and y, negate x

In the example of rotating triangle ABC -90 degrees, what is the first step?

• Calculate the distance between points

• Use a protractor to measure angles

• Draw a new axis from the origin

• Draw a new axis from point K

What is the result of rotating a shape -90 degrees?

• The shape moves to the left

• The shape moves to the right

• The shape stays in place

• The shape flips upside down

What is the key difference between rotating about the origin and another point?

• The shape changes size

• The rotation degree changes

• A new axis must be drawn

• The rotation direction changes

What tool is essential for rotating a point 90 degrees without a coordinate plane?

• Compass

• Calculator

• Graph paper

• Protractor

What is the purpose of using a ruler in the rotation example without a coordinate plane?

• To check the accuracy of the rotation

• To calculate the angle of rotation

• To draw a line from the origin to the point

• To measure the distance between points
