Question

Which is the location of S' when trapezoid RSTU is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to produce trapezoid R'S'T'U? Explain.

A. (-12,-3)
B. (-3,-12)
C. (3,12)
D. (12,3)​

Answer 1

D. (12,3)​

Explanation:

From the graphical diagram attached below ; we would realize that the x-coordinate is in the positive direction and the y-coordinate is in the negative direction.

Initially, the location of S = 12 to the horizontal x axis from the graphical diagram. So, if the trapezoid RSTU is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to produce trapezoid R'S'T'U, we will have :

S' = 3

Thus; the (x,y) coordinate of R'S'T'U = (12,3)​
