Question

Triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about point P to create triangle A’B’C’. How far will C’ be from point P? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

It will be 5 points away. If you rotate triangle ABC in any 90 degree increment . You will have point b two points away and point c 5 points away

The answer is point C' will be 5 points away from point P if rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about point P

Answer 2

Answer: Point C' is 5 points away from the point P.

Explanation:

A rotation is a rigid transformation of some degrees about a center point .

• It preserves the length of the segments and measure of angles.

• The point of pre-image and its corresponding image is equidistant from the center point of rotation.

We can see that the distance of point C from point P = 5 points

Then , the distance of point C' from point P will be 5 points.

Hence, we say point C' is 5 points away from the point P.
