Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A triangle has vertices at A(2, 3), B(4, 5), and C(3, 2). If the triangle is rotated 180° about the origin, what are the new coordinates of point A?
[2 marks]2.
Construct a rotation of 270° clockwise about the origin for the point (1, -2). Draw the image on the grid.
[3 marks]3.
A square has vertices at (1,1), (1,3), (3,3), and (3,1). If it is rotated 90° counter-clockwise about the origin, what are the coordinates of the new vertices?
[3 marks]4.
Explain how a negative scale factor combined with rotation affects the shape and position of a figure.
[4 marks]5.
A point (5, -2) is rotated 180° about the origin. What is its new position?
[2 marks]6.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (2, 2), (4, 2), and (3, 4). Rotate this triangle 180° about the origin. Draw the image on the grid.
[3 marks]7.
A rectangle with vertices at (1, 1), (1, 4), (5, 4), and (5, 1) undergoes a rotation of 180° about the origin. What are the new vertices?
[3 marks]8.
A real-world scenario: A drone at position (3, -4) is instructed to perform a 180° rotation about the origin. Where will it be after rotation?
[4 marks]9.
What is the effect of combining a negative scale factor with a 180° rotation on a figure's orientation and size?
[4 marks]10.
A triangle has vertices at (2, 3), (4, 5), and (3, 2). It is rotated 180° about the origin. Which vertex becomes (-4, -5)?
[1 mark]AA(2, 3)
BB(4, 5)
CC(3, 2)
11.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student claims that rotating a figure 180° about the origin always results in the figure being in the same position after rotation.
