Math Problem Statement

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a rotation 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

Solution

The task involves rotating the triangle defined by the points FF, GG, and HH 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

The coordinates of the original points are:

  • F(8,8)F(-8, 8)
  • G(2,10)G(2, 10)
  • H(6,0)H(-6, 0)

The formula to rotate a point (x,y)(x, y) 90° counterclockwise around the origin is: (x,y)=(y,x)(x', y') = (-y, x)

Now let's apply this transformation to each point:

  1. For point F(8,8)F(-8, 8): (x,y)=(8,8)(x', y') = (-8, -8) So the new coordinates of FF are (8,8)(-8, -8).

  2. For point G(2,10)G(2, 10): (x,y)=(10,2)(x', y') = (-10, 2) So the new coordinates of GG are (10,2)(-10, 2).

  3. For point H(6,0)H(-6, 0): (x,y)=(0,6)(x', y') = (0, -6) So the new coordinates of HH are (0,6)(0, -6).

Final coordinates after the rotation:

  • F(8,8)F'(-8, -8)
  • G(10,2)G'(-10, 2)
  • H(0,6)H'(0, -6)

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. What happens to the coordinates when rotating 180° around the origin?
  2. How would the coordinates change after a 90° clockwise rotation?
  3. What is the general formula for rotating any point by an arbitrary angle around the origin?
  4. How do reflections across the x-axis or y-axis affect point coordinates?
  5. What transformations leave a shape unchanged (identity transformations)?

Tip: When performing rotations, always verify if the rotation direction is clockwise or counterclockwise, as it affects the transformation rules.
