Math Problem Statement

Name a segment whose length is the same as segment AO after a 180-degree rotation around point O.

Solution

The problem involves points A,B,CA', B', C', which are the images of points A,B,CA, B, C after a 180-degree rotation around point OO.

Problem 1: Name a segment whose length is the same as segment AOAO.

Since the points A,B,CA', B', C' are rotated images, their corresponding distances from point OO are preserved after a 180-degree rotation. This means:

  • The length of segment AOAO is equal to the length of segment AOA'O (because AA' is the image of AA after a 180-degree rotation).

Thus, segment AOA'O has the same length as segment AOAO.

Would you like a detailed explanation of the rotation process or have any further questions?

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do we know the distance from point OO to any point remains the same after a 180-degree rotation?
  2. What are the other segments in the figure that have equal lengths due to the rotation?
  3. How would you verify that the angles between the segments are also preserved under rotation?
  4. Why is it important that you do not measure angles or segments directly in the problem?
  5. Can you describe how a 180-degree rotation affects the orientation of a triangle?

Tip: A 180-degree rotation around a point maps each point to a position directly opposite across the center of rotation, preserving distances.
