Rotations
Goal
• Identify rotations and rotational symmetry.
Key Vocabulary
• Rotation• Center of rotation• Angle of rotation• Rotational symmetry
Rotation Vocabulary
• Rotation – transformation that turns every point of a pre-image through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point.

Rotation Vocabulary
• Center of rotation – fixed point of the rotation.
Center of Rotation
Rotation Vocabulary
• Angle of rotation – angle between a pre-image point and corresponding image point.

Example:
Example 1: Identifying Rotations
Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation. Explain.
No; the figure appearsto be flipped.
Yes; the figure appearsto be turned around a point.
A. B.
Your Turn:
Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation.
No, the figure appears to be a translation.
Yes, the figure appears to be turned around a point.
a. b.
Rotation Vocabulary
• Rotational symmetry – A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180⁰ or less.
Has rotational symmetry because it maps onto itself by a rotation of 90⁰.

Rotational Symmetry
When a figure can be rotated less than 360° and the image and pre-image are indistinguishable (regular polygons are a great example).
SymmetryRotational: 120° 90° 60° 45°
Identify Rotational SymmetryExample 2
Does the figure have rotational symmetry? If so, describe the rotations that map the figure onto itself.
Regular hexagonb.Rectanglea. Trapezoidc.
SOLUTION
Yes. A rectangle can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 180° about its center.

Identify Rotational SymmetryExample 2
Yes. A regular hexagon can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 60°, 120°, or 180° about its center.
b.
No. A trapezoid does not have rotational symmetry.c.

ANSWER
Rotation in a Coordinate Plane
• For a Rotation, you need;• An angle or degree of turn
– Eg 90° or a Quarter Turn– E.g. 180 ° or a Half Turn
• A direction– Clockwise– Anticlockwise
• A Centre of Rotation– A point around which Object rotates

Rotation in a Coordinate Plane
Rotations in a Coordinate PlaneExample 4
Sketch the quadrilateral with vertices A(2, –2), B(4, 1), C(5, 1), and D(5, –1). Rotate it 90° counterclockwise about the origin and name the coordinates of the new vertices.
Use a protractor and a ruler to find therotated vertices.
The coordinates of the vertices of the image are A'(2, 2), B'(–1, 4), C'(–1, 5), and D'(1, 5).
SOLUTION
Plot the points, as shown in blue.
