Math Problem Statement

vertices of triangle ABC are A(2,-2), B(-3,-2), and C(-1,3). what are the cpordinates of vertices of triangle A’B’C’ for the rotation. r (270^degree, o)

Solution

To perform a 270° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, we can apply the following transformation to each point (x,y)(x, y):

(x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (y, -x)

Applying this to each vertex:

  1. Point A (2, -2): A=(2,2)A' = (-2, -2)

  2. Point B (-3, -2): B=(2,3)B' = (-2, 3)

  3. Point C (-1, 3): C=(3,1)C' = (3, 1)

The coordinates of the vertices of triangle ABCA'B'C' after a 270° counterclockwise rotation are:

A(2,2),B(2,3),C(3,1)A'(-2, -2), B'(-2, 3), C'(3, 1)

Let me know if you want more details or if you have any further questions.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What would the coordinates be for a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the same triangle?
  2. How do you calculate the area of triangle ABC using its vertices?
  3. What are the rules for rotating a point by 180° about the origin?
  4. Can you derive the formula for rotating a point by any arbitrary angle?
  5. What are the reflection coordinates of the triangle over the x-axis?

Tip: When performing transformations, it's helpful to first visualize the triangle and confirm the new coordinates to ensure accuracy.
