Given:
The point is rotated at 272 degrees clockwise.
To find:
The smallest positive counterclockwise rotation for the given clockwise rotation.
Explanation:
Clockwise rotation = 272°
We need to subtract the given clockwise rotation from 360° to get the smallest positive counterclockwise rotation, because one complete circle is 360°.
Counterclockwise rotation = 360° - Clockwise rotation
= 360° - 272°
= 88°
Therefore, the smallest positive counterclockwise rotation is 88°.
