Question

Do you think that a 270° clockwise rotation is the same as a 90° counterclockwise rotation? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Answer:Yes, I think they are the same. One revolution is 360 degrees. A 180-degree clockwise rotation is the same as a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation. The sum of the measures is 360. So, moving in a clockwise direction for 270 degrees would end at the same place as moving 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction.

Answer 2

Although it ends up at the same point the 270 degrees clockwise rotation still goe further than just 90 degrees, because it 3/4 of a circle and 90 degrees is only 1/4
