Coordinate Plane: Rotations

A rotation is a transformation that "turns" a figure about a point in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

The point about which the figure rotates is called the center of rotation.

A rotation image is congruent to original figure and have different orientations.

To describe a rotation, tell whether the turn is clockwise or counterclockwise and the number of degrees the figure is turned around its center of rotation.

A 90? rotation is a quarter turn. A 180? rotation is a half turn. A 270? rotation is a three-quarter turn.
