Question

Triangle CAT was rotated to create triangle C'A'T'. Describe the transformation using details and degrees.

Answer 1

This is a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees about the origin.

Explanation:

If you place an edge of a ruler at the point (0,0). the origin, you see that rotating the ruler clockwise take the point C to C'.

Answer 2

Triangle CAT appears to be rotated about the origin clockwise by 90 degrees. If you have graph paper and you draw out CAT, take one point, rotate the paper 90 degrees, and plot the point again as if it were a new graph. Once you're finished, you'll have this graph of C'A'T'.
