Question

What is the angle of rotation from figure A to figure A’? Assume that the center of rotation is the origin. A. 180° clockwise B. 90° counterclockwise C. 180° counterclockwise D. 270° counterclockwise

Answer 1

B.90°counterclockwise

Answer 2

Answer: B

Explanation:

A. If you rotate a figure in the first quadrant 180 degrees clockwise it will end up in the third quadrant so the answer can't be A.

B. If you rotate a figure in the first quadrant 90 degrees counterclockwise it will end up in the second quadrant because you will rotate it backwards and as you could see A prime is in the second quadrant.

C.If you rotate a figure in the first quadrant 180 counterclockwise it will end up in the third quadrant. SO the answer can't be it C.

D.If your rotate a figure in the first quadrant 270 counterclockwise it will end up in the fourth quadrant. So the answer can't be D.
