Geometry Rotations
2
Goals Identify rotations in the plane.
Apply rotation formulas to figures on the coordinate plane. 4/23/2017
3
Rotation A transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. Center of Rotation 4/23/2017
4
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
5
A Rotation is an Isometry
Segment lengths are preserved. Angle measures are preserved. Parallel lines remain parallel. Orientation is unchanged. 4/23/2017
6
Rotations on the Coordinate Plane
Know the formulas for: 90 rotations 180 rotations clockwise & counter-clockwise Unless told otherwise, the center of rotation is the origin (0, 0). 4/23/2017
7
90 clockwise rotation Formula (x, y) (y, x) A(-2, 4) A’(4, 2)

Rotate (-3, -2) 90 clockwise
Formula (x, y) (y, x) A’(-2, 3) (-3, -2) 4/23/2017
9
90 counter-clockwise rotation
Formula (x, y) (y, x) A’(2, 4) A(4, -2) 4/23/2017

Rotation Formulas 90 CW (x, y) (y, x) 90 CCW (x, y) (y, x)
180 (x, y) (x, y) Rotating through an angle other than 90 or 180 requires much more complicated math. 4/23/2017

Compound Reflections If lines k and m intersect at point P, then a reflection in k followed by a reflection in m is the same as a rotation about point P. 4/23/2017
19
Compound Reflections k m P
If lines k and m intersect at point P, then a reflection in k followed by a reflection in m is the same as a rotation about point P. k m P 4/23/2017
20
Compound Reflections Furthermore, the amount of the rotation is twice the measure of the angle between lines k and m. k m 45 90 P 4/23/2017
