Math Problem Statement

Here is triangle ABC. Draw the new image of triangle ABC after a rotation of 120° clockwise around point B. Shade the new image and label it A'B'C'.

Solution

The task involves rotating triangle ABCABC by 120° clockwise around point BB and then labeling and shading the resulting triangle, ABCA'B'C'.

To perform the rotation:

  1. Identify the triangle’s vertices: AA, BB, and CC. Point BB remains fixed since the rotation is around this point.

  2. Rotate each of the points AA and CC by 120° clockwise around BB using the grid as a guide. A 120° clockwise rotation moves points along equilateral triangle steps, which aligns with the triangular grid.

  3. Plot the new positions of AA' and CC' after the rotation. BB stays in the same location, so BB' will still be at point BB.

  4. Draw the new triangle ABCA'B'C', shade it, and label the points.
