Math Problem Statement
Solution
The task involves rotating triangle by 120° clockwise around point and then labeling and shading the resulting triangle, .
To perform the rotation:
-
Identify the triangle’s vertices: , , and . Point remains fixed since the rotation is around this point.
-
Rotate each of the points and by 120° clockwise around using the grid as a guide. A 120° clockwise rotation moves points along equilateral triangle steps, which aligns with the triangular grid.
-
Plot the new positions of and after the rotation. stays in the same location, so will still be at point .
-
Draw the new triangle , shade it, and label the points.
Would you like me to generate a visual of this rotated triangle for you?
