Math Problem Statement

What is the relationship between AP and A'P after rotating triangle ABC around point P to create triangle A'B'C'?

Solution

The given problem shows that triangle ABC\triangle ABC is rotated around point PP to create triangle ABC\triangle A'B'C'. The question asks about the relationship between the lengths of segments APAP and APA'P.

In a rotation, corresponding points in the original and rotated triangles are equidistant from the center of rotation. Since PP is the center of rotation:

AP=APAP = A'P

This means that the distance from point AA to point PP is the same as the distance from point AA' to point PP.

Would you like further details on the properties of rotations, or do you have any other specific questions?

Tip: In a rotation, not only are distances from the center of rotation preserved, but also the angles between corresponding points are maintained.
