Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A square window on a building is located with its bottom-left corner at (2, 3). If the window is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, what will be the coordinates of its bottom-left corner?
[2 marks]
2.
Construct a rectangle with vertices at (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3), and (1, 3). Rotate this rectangle 90° clockwise about the origin. Draw and label the new position of the rectangle on the grid.
[3 marks]
3.
A triangular arch in a park has vertices at (2, 4), (5, 4), and (3.5, 6). If the arch is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin, what are the new coordinates of the vertices?
[3 marks]
4.
A building facade includes a rectangular sign with bottom-left corner at (3, -2). The sign is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. What are the coordinates of the bottom-left corner after rotation?
[2 marks]
5.
A design plan involves rotating a pattern with points at (1, 2), (2, 4). Calculate the new positions after a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin.
[3 marks]
6.
Explain why rotating a shape 90° clockwise about the origin changes the coordinates from (x, y) to (y, -x).
[3 marks]
7.
A rectangular window positioned at (−4, 1) is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin. What's the new position of this window?
[2 marks]
8.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (0, 0), (3, 0), and (1.5, 3). Use the grid to draw the triangle. Then rotate it 90° clockwise about the origin and draw the new triangle.
[3 marks]
9.
A design feature has a pattern with points at (5, 2), (6, 4). After rotating 90° clockwise about the origin, where are these points located?
[2 marks]
10.
A mistake in a rotation is that someone used (x, y) to (−x, y). Identify and explain the error made in rotating a shape 90° clockwise about the origin.
[3 marks]
