Math Problem Statement
If the measures of two angles in figure A are 65 and 115, what will the measure of those two angles be in the rotated figure?
Solution
When a figure is rotated, the measures of the angles within the figure remain unchanged. Therefore, if the measures of the two angles in Figure A are 65 degrees and 115 degrees, these angles will still measure 65 degrees and 115 degrees after the figure is rotated.
Rotation does not affect the magnitude of angles; it only changes the orientation of the figure.
Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are five related questions to explore:
- What happens to the side lengths of a triangle when it is rotated?
- How does the rotation of a figure affect its overall shape?
- Can the orientation of angles in a figure affect calculations involving those angles?
- What are some common rotation angles used in geometry, and how do they affect figures?
- How would the angle measures be affected if the figure were reflected instead of rotated?
Tip: When dealing with transformations in geometry, remember that rotations preserve both the angles and the side lengths of figures, making them isometries.
