Math Problem Statement

T is at (5,-5) U is at (15,-5) and V is at (5,-20)

Rotate △TUV 90° clockwise around the origin. The coordinates of the points are: T(5, -5), U(15, -5), and V(5, -20).

Solution

To rotate triangle TUV\triangle TUV 90° clockwise around the origin, we apply the standard 90° clockwise rotation formula. For each point (x,y)(x, y), the new coordinates after a 90° clockwise rotation around the origin are given by:

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

Let's calculate the new coordinates for each vertex:

  1. Point T(5,5)T(5, -5): T(x,y)=(5,5)T'(x', y') = (-5, -5)

  2. Point U(15,5)U(15, -5): U(x,y)=(5,15)U'(x', y') = (-5, -15)

  3. Point V(5,20)V(5, -20): V(x,y)=(20,5)V'(x', y') = (-20, -5)

So, after the 90° clockwise rotation, the new coordinates of the triangle TUV\triangle TUV are:

  • T(5,5)T'(-5, -5)
  • U(5,15)U'(-5, -15)
  • V(20,5)V'(-20, -5)

Would you like further details or a step-by-step explanation?

Here are some follow-up questions:

  1. What is the formula for rotating a point counterclockwise instead?
  2. How would the coordinates change if we rotated the triangle 180°?
  3. What happens to the area of the triangle after a rotation?
  4. Can you derive the transformation matrix for a 90° clockwise rotation?
  5. What is the effect of rotating the triangle by 270° clockwise?

Tip: For rotations around a point other than the origin, you need to first translate the shape to the origin, perform the rotation, and then translate it back.
