Question

The polygon ABCD was rotated 60° about point P as shown.

Which best describes this rotation?





A.
1/6 turn clockwise


B.
1/6 turn counterclockwise


C.
1/3 turn clockwise


D.
1/3 turn counterclockwise

Answer 1

the answer is B.1/6 turn counterclockwise. why? well it is moving to the left and the clock moves to the right not the the left so that means it is counter clockwise. now to find out if it is 1/3 or 1/6 the circle has 360 degrees, and we already moved 60 so how much is 60 from 360 divide to find out 360/60=6. and since it is only one part it is 1/6 so B is your answer.
