Math Problem Statement

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

Solution

The problem asks to find the coordinates of the vertices FF, GG, and HH after a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin.

Step 1: Identify the initial coordinates of the vertices.

From the graph, the coordinates of the vertices are:

  • F(8,10)F (-8, 10)
  • G(2,10)G (2, 10)
  • H(8,0)H (-8, 0)

Step 2: Apply the 90° counterclockwise rotation formula.

When a point (x,y)(x, y) is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin, the new coordinates (x,y)(x', y') are given by: (x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (-y, x) This means:

  • The new xx'-coordinate is the negative of the original yy-coordinate.
  • The new yy'-coordinate is the original xx-coordinate.

Step 3: Calculate the new coordinates.

  • For F(8,10)F (-8, 10): F=(10,8)F' = (-10, -8)
  • For G(2,10)G (2, 10): G=(10,2)G' = (-10, 2)
  • For H(8,0)H (-8, 0): H=(0,8)H' = (0, -8)

Final Coordinates After Rotation:

  • F(10,8)F' (-10, -8)
  • G(10,2)G' (-10, 2)
  • H(0,8)H' (0, -8)

Would you like further clarification on the rotation process or a different topic?

Here are some related questions for further practice:

  1. What is the rule for rotating points 180° around the origin?
  2. How would the coordinates change after a 270° clockwise rotation?
  3. How do you reflect a point across the x-axis and y-axis?
  4. How can you find the coordinates of a point after a translation?
  5. How do you perform a dilation of a point with respect to the origin?

Tip: When performing a transformation like rotation, it helps to visualize or sketch the new positions of the points on the graph!
