1. Rotation Around a Point

3. A Rotation is… A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation. A rotation is clockwise if its direction is the same as that of a clock hand. A rotation in the other direction is called counterclockwise. A complete rotation is 360˚.
