Question

Triangle CAT was rotated to create triangle C'A'T'. Describe the transformation using details and degrees.

Answer 1

Triangle CAT was rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the origin.

Explanation:

The coordinate points for A and A' are (-3,3) and (3,3). The change from A to A' from quadrant 2 to 1 is a 90 degree rotation in the clockwise direction. Each of the points are equal distance from the origin (0,0) and this is the center of rotation.
