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 :
Applying this to each vertex:
-
Point A (2, -2):
-
Point B (-3, -2):
-
Point C (-1, 3):
The coordinates of the vertices of triangle after a 270° counterclockwise rotation are:

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:
- What would the coordinates be for a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the same triangle?
- How do you calculate the area of triangle ABC using its vertices?
- What are the rules for rotating a point by 180° about the origin?
- Can you derive the formula for rotating a point by any arbitrary angle?
- 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.
