Math Problem Statement

Points A', B', and C' are the images of 100-degree rotations of A, B, and C, respectively, around point O. Name a segment whose length is the same as segment AO.

Solution

The problem asks to name a segment whose length is the same as segment AOAO.

Explanation:

Given the points A,B,CA', B', C' are the images of the 100-degree rotations of points A,B,CA, B, C respectively around point OO, and we see that AOB=79\angle AOB = 79^\circ and BOC=35\angle BOC = 35^\circ:

  1. Rotations preserve the distance from the center of rotation. This means that for any point and its rotated image, the distance to the center remains the same.

  2. Therefore, the segment AOA'O should have the same length as AOAO, BOB'O should have the same length as BOBO, and COC'O should have the same length as COCO.

Conclusion:

The segment whose length is the same as AOAO is AOA'O.

  2. How does the concept of rotational symmetry apply to other geometric transformations?
  3. Can the rotation angle affect the length of segments in any geometric transformation?
  4. What happens to the orientation of figures after a rotation by different angles (e.g., 90 degrees, 180 degrees)?
  5. How would the problem change if the rotation was about a different point instead of point OO?

Tip: When dealing with rotations, always remember that they preserve the distances between the center of rotation and any point on the figure.
