Introduction
Read the brief explanation below before attempting the questions.
1.
Rotation in geometry involves turning a figure around a fixed point called the 'center of rotation' by a certain angle. The angle of rotation determines how far the figure turns.

1.
If a triangle is rotated 90° clockwise around the origin, what is the new position of the point (3, 4)?
[2 marks]2.
Rotate the point (-2, 5) 180° around the origin. What are its new coordinates?
[2 marks]3.
A point at (6, 2) is rotated 270° clockwise around the origin. Find its new location.
[2 marks]4.
What is the effect of rotating a figure 360° around a point?
[2 marks]5.
A square with vertices at (1,1), (1,3), (3,3), (3,1) is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin. What are the new coordinates of the vertex (1,1)?
[2 marks]6.
Explain how the position of a point changes after a 180° rotation around the origin.
[3 marks]7.
A triangle has vertices at (2, 2), (4, 2), and (3, 4). If it is rotated 90° clockwise around the origin, what are the new positions of the vertices?
[4 marks]8.
Describe a real-world scenario where understanding rotation is useful.
[3 marks]9.
A point at (5, -3) is rotated 270° counterclockwise around the origin. Find its new coordinates.
[2 marks]10.
What is the total sum of the x-coordinates of a figure before and after a 180° rotation around the origin if the original x-coordinates are (2, 4, -1)?
