Question

Rectangle A is rotated 90° clockwise about point P to produce rectangle B. What is the area of rectangle B?

A. 25 square units
B. 9 square units
C. 16 square units
D. 15 square units

Answer 1

The area of rectangle B is equal to the area of rectangle A, as rotation does not change the area of a geometric shape. The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the area of rectangle B after rectangle A is rotated 90° clockwise about a point P. In geometry, when a rectangle is rotated around a point, the area of the rectangle remains unchanged regardless of the rotation.

Therefore, the area of rectangle B will be the same as the area of rectangle A. Since no specific dimensions are provided for rectangle A, we cannot provide a numerical answer; we can only state that the area of rectangle B is equal to the area of rectangle A. The correct option is B.
