Math Problem Statement

Rotate triangle ABC with vertices A(2,-1), B(4,1), and C(3,3) 90 degrees clockwise around the origin. State the points of the image using proper notation and no spaces.

Solution

To rotate triangle ABCABC with vertices A(2,1)A(2,-1), B(4,1)B(4,1), and C(3,3)C(3,3) 90 degrees clockwise around the origin, we apply the following transformation:

(x,y)(y,x)(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)

Applying this transformation to each vertex:

  • For A(2,1)A(2,-1):
    (2,1)(1,2)(2,-1) \rightarrow (-1,-2) So, A(1,2)A'(-1,-2).

  • For B(4,1)B(4,1):
    (4,1)(1,4)(4,1) \rightarrow (1,-4) So, B(1,4)B'(1,-4).

  • For C(3,3)C(3,3):
    (3,3)(3,3)(3,3) \rightarrow (3,-3) So, C(3,3)C'(3,-3).

Therefore, the points of the image are:

A(1,2),B(1,4),C(3,3)A'(-1,-2),B'(1,-4),C'(3,-3)

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would you rotate the triangle 90 degrees counterclockwise?
  2. What are the coordinates if you rotate the triangle 180 degrees around the origin?
  3. How does the area of the triangle change after rotation?
  4. What would be the image if you rotate triangle ABCABC around a different point?
  5. How do the distances between the original and rotated vertices compare?

Tip: When rotating points on a coordinate plane, remember that a 90-degree clockwise rotation switches the coordinates and changes the sign of the original x-coordinate.
