Question

Which is the angle measure represented by 1.5 rotations counterclockwise

Answer 1

One rotation is equal to 360 degrees, so 1.5 rotations would be 540 degrees.

Answer 2

540 degrees

Explanation:

The angle of rotation gives us the degree to which a point is rotated to. Clockwise rotation is negative and counterclockwise is positive.

1 rotation = 360 degree

0.5 rotation = 360/2 = 180

1.5 rotation = 1 rotation + 0.5 rotation

⇒1.5 rotation = 360 + 180 = 540 degree

So, the angle would be rotated 540 degrees.
