Math Problem Statement

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° clockwise around the origin.

Solution

The problem is asking for the coordinates of the vertices of a shape after a 90° clockwise rotation around the origin. Let’s identify the original coordinates of the vertices A,B,C,DA, B, C, D and apply the rotation.

The original coordinates from the image are approximately:

  • A=(2,1)A = (2, 1)
  • B=(2,7)B = (2, 7)
  • C=(8,7)C = (8, 7)
  • D=(8,1)D = (8, 1)

The rule for rotating a point (x,y)(x, y) 90° clockwise around the origin is: (x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)

Applying this rule to each vertex:

  • A=(2,1)A=(1,2)A = (2, 1) \rightarrow A' = (1, -2)
  • B=(2,7)B=(7,2)B = (2, 7) \rightarrow B' = (7, -2)
  • C=(8,7)C=(7,8)C = (8, 7) \rightarrow C' = (7, -8)
  • D=(8,1)D=(1,8)D = (8, 1) \rightarrow D' = (1, -8)

The new coordinates after the 90° clockwise rotation are:

  • A=(1,2)A' = (1, -2)
  • B=(7,2)B' = (7, -2)
  • C=(7,8)C' = (7, -8)
  • D=(1,8)D' = (1, -8)

Would you like further details on this rotation process or have any other questions?

Here are five related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. What are the coordinates after a 90° counterclockwise rotation around the origin?
  2. How do you find coordinates after a 180° rotation around the origin?
  3. What happens to the coordinates after reflecting over the x-axis?
  4. How does a reflection over the y-axis affect the coordinates?
  5. Can you explain how to perform a dilation with respect to the origin?

Tip: When rotating points on the coordinate plane, it's helpful to visualize or draw the new positions to confirm their accuracy.
