Geometry Rotations
Goals Identify rotations in the plane. Apply rotation formulas to figures on the coordinate plane. 4/23/2017
Rotation A transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. Center of Rotation 4/23/2017
Rotation Rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form an angle called the angle of rotation. G 90 Center of Rotation G’ 4/23/2017
A Rotation is an Isometry Segment lengths are preserved. Angle measures are preserved. Parallel lines remain parallel. Orientation is unchanged. 4/23/2017
